When asked about his most memorable save of the match, Sommer did not hesitate to answer: "The last save against Lamine Yamal. He is a great player. I am glad the ball did not go in. Many teams would collapse after being 3-2 down, but we tried to come back."

Despite conceding three goals, Sommer was still named "Man of the Match". The Swiss goalkeeper made seven saves, including four diving saves and five saves in the penalty area.

Yamal's dangerous shots, Eric Garcia's, or Raphinha's quick close-range shots were all stopped by Sommer's excellent reflexes.

In both matches, Sommer made 14 saves to help Inter Milan compete with Barcelona and win a ticket to the final. At 36 years old, the former Bayern Munich goalkeeper proved that he is still a world- class goalkeeper.

Inter recruited Sommer in the summer of 2023 to replace Andre Onana for a fee of 5 million euros. Italian media considered this a bargain for Inter because Sommer's experience and talent have been proven over the years.
