It was not Lautaro Martinez, who opened the scoring and then won the penalty; nor Davide Frattesi, who scored the decisive goal in the 99th minute, bringing Inter Milan to the Champions League final after 3 years, but UEFA and the Organizing Committee of the semi-final awarded the "Best Player" title to goalkeeper Yann Sommer, who played excellently against Barcelona despite having to pick the ball out of the net 3 times in the match.

On a day when the strikers created a great comeback, the role of Yann Sommer in the Inter Milan goal was not forgotten.

Despite coach Simone Inzaghi and the home team calculating every option to block Lamine Yamal, Barcelona's most dangerous striker, only Yann Sommer was able to do this throughout the entire match at Giuseppe Meazza.
The 17-year-old star had 9 shots throughout the match but could not get the ball into the Inter Milan goal. In the 77th minute, surrounded by many home players, Yamal still decided to take a long-range shot. The ball flew very uncomfortably, but goalkeeper Sommer still managed to jump up and block it with his fingertips.
