After a spectacular exchange of blows against Barcelona, ​​Yann Sommer with Inter Milan is in the final of the Champions League. Not only emotionally for him, but also a special satisfaction.

“I am incredibly happy for him, extremely proud too,” Kramer emphasized at the microphone of the broadcasting streaming service Amazon Prime. Because while the 34-year-old ex-DFB player only gave up his expertise for the game that evening, Sommer played a leading role on the pitch. With numerous shiny parades, he paved the way past the FC Barcelona offensive machine in the Champions League final-and was even awarded as a player of the game. With his performance, the keeper now gave himself a very special satisfaction.

“It was once again an incredible game,” summed up the 36 -year -old summer, in which Inter initially took the lead 2-0, then suddenly with 2: 3 behind to compensate for in the last second and triumph in extra time. “We were almost outside and then you saw what this San Siro is simple and this team,” said Sommer.

The goalkeeper raved about his team: “There is simply a giant belief in this team. I mean if you have the chance to move into such a final, then you leave everything in this place until the end.” The team is something special. “A lot of morality, extremely much belief even in difficult situations and I’m really looking forward to a Champions League final”; Said Sommer. He also had praise for the fans in the legendary San Siro of Milan: “This power that develops in the stadium is incredible.”

But Sommer himself was also able to look forward to praise. Prime expert Matthias Sammer nobodyed him, especially for his game with a ball on his foot, which his team always helped out of difficult moments. “It has world level, you just have to say,” said Sammer. “It is good that you can hold, but it was terrific with the foot,” he said.

The qualification for the final, which will take place on May 31 in the Munich Allianz Arena, is a very special satisfaction for summer. After moving from Borussia Mönchengladbach to FC Bayern in January 2023, the Swiss experienced a little enjoyable time at the German record champions. In Munich, he was constantly faced with the then injured Manuel Neuer – and received a lot of criticism. After only half a year, the Munich gave him back to Italy.

Now Sommer returns to the Allianz Arena as the top performer of his new team for a Champions League final. That makes him emotionally. When asked about this, he said: “I’m really happy”, then freely admitted: “I came to tears right after the final whistle.” He and the team would have invested a lot to achieve the final. “I am 36 years old, I’m no longer the youngest. I can now play a Champions League final with this team and I really couldn’t be happier,” said Sommer.

The finals should be all the sweet, because Sommer and Inter also burst the dream of the Bayern from the final in their own stadium in the quarter -finals. Now the Munich people have to look at from the stands, like the goalkeeper, who was once not good enough for them, fights for the Henkelpott in their stadium.
