Borussia Mönchengladbach goalkeeper Yann Sommer set a record with his outstanding performance at FC Bayern (1: 1) according to the data service provider “Opta”.
According to this, the 33-year-old fended off 19 shots on goal, more than any Bundesliga goalkeeper since detailed data collection began. With his 266th league game, the Swiss had also become his country’s record player in Germany’s top division.
“I’m glad I did a good job, so we can take a point today,” Sommer said on Sky. The goalkeeper has been playing for Mönchengladbach since 2014.
Team-mate Christoph Kramer said in a good mood: “We know that we have a good goalkeeper. That’s why we can sometimes allow a shot,” said Kramer.
“Good man, Yann!” Bayern striker Thomas Müller said: “We don’t know any different than Yann Sommer playing the game of the year against us.” Sommer “didn’t let anything gossip, and he was also there for the big things”.
