The defender is brimming with confidence again after Thomas Tuchel's men made it four wins on the spin by routing Monchengladbach on Saturday
Mats Hummels believes that the sky is the limit for Borussia Dortmund after their promising start to the new season.
Uncertainty surrounded the club following Jurgen Klopp's decision to stand down at the end of last season, which saw BVB finish seventh in the Bundesliga standings.
However, new boss Thomas Tuchel has made an instant impact, with Dortmund progressing to the play-off round of the Europa League with a commanding 6-0 aggregate defeat of Wolfsberger before then easing past Chemnitzer in their DFB-Pokal opener.
Most impressively of all, though, BVB kicked off their Bundesliga in style on Saturday, beating last season's third-place finishers Borussia Monchengladbach 4-0 at Signal Iduna Park.
Consequently, Hummels believes that Dortmund - Champions League finalists in 2014 - are on their way back to the top.
"We executed our game plan brilliantly," Hummels said of the demolition of Gladbach. "If we continue like this we can be very successful.
"It's a great start to the season: four competitive matches and four wins – we can go very far indeed.
"We don’t want to take anything for granted, though, as it is still early days.
"But so far everything is going very well and we want to build from this."
Dortmund face Norwegian outfit Odd in the Europa League on Thursday before returning to Bundesliga action at Ingolstadt next weekend.
