Yann Sommer's Extraordinary Night

On the morning of May 7, goalkeeper Yann Sommer had an extremely high-quality performance to help Inter Milan beat Barcelona 4-3 (7-6 on aggregate) in the second leg of the 2024/25 Champions League semi-finals.

One of the situations where Sommer denied Barcelona a clear scoring opportunity.

In a dramatic Champions League night, when Inter's defense was constantly on alert, Yann Sommer became the last and most solid support to help the Serie A representative overcome Barcelona after two semi-final matches.

In the second leg at Giuseppe Meazza, Sommer made 7 saves, including 4 flying saves and 5 saves in the penalty area.

The dangerous shots of Lamine Yamal, Eric Garcia, or the extremely fast close-range kick of Raphinha were all stopped by the Swiss goalkeeper's excellent reflexes.

Marca , Football Insider and Daily Mail all praised Sommer, along with images capturing the moment the goalkeeper jumped to his full potential to save the goal, in the context of Inter struggling to fend off continuous attacks from the away team.

It was no surprise that Sommer was rated 8.1 points by the statistics sites, and was also awarded the best player of the match. Including both matches, Sommer made 14 saves to help Inter Milan compete fairly with Barcelona and win a ticket to the final.

If Francesco Acerbi kept hope alive with a historic equalizer, Davide Frattesi finished off Barcelona, then Sommer was the one who protected Inter Milan's achievement until the last minute.

At Meazza Stadium, Barcelona led 3-2 until the 90+2 minute but was still equalized by Inter, then lost 3-4 in extra time in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final.
