Inter Milan is in the final of the Champions League. Goalkeeper Yann Sommer has a large part.
In January 2023, goalkeeper Yann Sommer moved from Borussia Mönchengladbach to FC Bayern. Munich’s regular goalkeeper Manuel Neuer failed, summer should replace him – and if possible, win the Champions League with Bayern. But not only this project failed, but also summer in Munich. After just half a year, Bayern gave the keeper to Italy.
In the Bayern jersey, Sommer did not know how to convince as now with Inter Milan. Representing this, a scene is in the second leg of the Champions League round of gravity 2022/23 against Paris Saint-Germain. Sommer started dribbling in his own sixteen, lost the ball negligently – the Munich team did not go behind because Matthijs de Ligt was able to clarify on the line in the highest need. At that time, Sommer said about the rescue act of his former teammate: “I will put a truck with Swiss chocolate in front of his front door. Outstanding how he saved me.”
There were some in the Bayern jersey from summer. Actually atypical for the Swiss national goalkeeper, which has primarily strengths with the ball on the foot – as he demonstrated in the semi -finals against FC Barcelona (4: 3). Matthias Sammer said at Amazon Prime after the game on Tuesday evening: “You have a world level, you just have to say. You can hold that you can hold it too, but it was terrific.”
It is clear in any case: since his change to Inter Summer’s achievements have stabilized at the world level. He demonstrated that he is one of the world’s best goalkeepers in this Champions League season. In the quarter -finals, summer brought FC Bayern to despair, in the semi -finals the offensive FC Barcelona with numerous parades. He showed a world parade against Barcelonas Eric (57th minute), who actually only had to accommodate the ball in the empty goal. At that time he prevented the 2-2 equalization, which then fell a few minutes later.
And now summer is in the final of the Champions League. This should give him satisfaction, after all it takes place in the Munich Allianz Arena. But not the Bayern play around the Henkelpott there, but summer with his Milanese. “I’m really happy. I came to tears right after the final whistle,” said the Swiss after the game and continued: “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.” A state that certainly does not apply to FC Bayern with the missed “Finale Dahoam”.
