Yann Sommer Shines Bright in Inter Milan’s UCL Thriller Against Barcelona
Yann Sommer delivered a masterclass performance on one of football’s biggest stages, earning the UEFA Man of the Match award after Inter Milan's dramatic 4-3 extra-time victory over Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League semi-final second leg.
The veteran Swiss goalkeeper was nothing short of heroic. With Inter defending a slim aggregate lead late into extra time, Sommer stood tall under immense pressure. His most iconic moment came in the dying minutes when he made a stunning save to deny Barcelona’s teenage sensation Lamine Yamal—an intervention that ultimately sealed Inter’s place in the final.
Across the two legs, Sommer made an incredible 14 saves, showcasing not only his reflexes but also his leadership and composure. His performance was a key factor in Inter’s 7-6 aggregate triumph, and at 36, he proved age is just a number.
Now, with a place in the Champions League final secured, Inter Milan await the winner of the other semi-final between Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal. But for now, the spotlight rightfully shines on Yann Sommer—a true guardian of the goalposts.
