Yann Sommer's Extraordinary Night

In the early hours of May 7th, goalkeeper Yann Sommer delivered an outstanding performance, helping Inter Milan defeat Barcelona 4-3 (7-6 on aggregate) in the second leg of the 2024/25 Champions League semi-final.

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

In a breathtakingly dramatic Champions League night, with Inter's defense constantly under pressure, Yann Sommer became the last and most solid anchor, helping the Serie A representatives overcome Barcelona over two legs in the semi-finals.

In the return leg at Giuseppe Meazza, Sommer made seven saves, including four diving saves and five saves inside the penalty area.

The dangerous shots from Lamine Yamal, Eric Garcia, and Raphinha's lightning-fast close-range strike were all blocked by the Swiss goalkeeper's superb reflexes.

Marca , Football Insider , and Daily Mail all praised Sommer, accompanied by images capturing the moment the goalkeeper made a full-stretch save as Inter struggled to withstand relentless attacks from the visiting team.

Unsurprisingly, Sommer received an 8.1 rating from statistical websites and was also named Man of the Match. Across both legs, Sommer made 14 saves, helping Inter Milan compete on equal terms with Barcelona and secure their place in the final.

While Francesco Acerbi kept hope alive with a historic equalizer, and Davide Frattesi sealed Barcelona's fate, Sommer was the one who protected Inter Milan's lead until the very last minute.

At the Meazza stadium, Barcelona led 3-2 until the 90+2 minute but were still held to a draw by Inter, and subsequently lost 3-4 in extra time in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final.
