Yann Sommer's Heroic Save Secures Inter Milan's Place in Champions League Final

Posted : 07 May 2025

Inter Milan's Yann Sommer played a pivotal role in securing a dramatic 4-3 extra-time victory over Barcelona, booking his side's place in the Champions League final. The 35-year-old Swiss goalkeeper made a crucial save in the 113th minute, denying Barcelona's Lamine Yamal with a fingertip stop to keep the score at 4-3, preventing a late equalizer that would have sent the match to a penalty shootout.

 

Sommer's save drew comparisons to a similar moment in club history, where Julio Cesar denied Lionel Messi in a 2010 semifinal against Barcelona during Inter's treble-winning season. After the match, a visibly emotional Sommer reflected on the importance of the save, calling it "special" and a moment he would remember for the rest of his life, as Inter triumphed 7-6 on aggregate.

 

The veteran keeper's performance was critical throughout the match, not just in saving the potential equalizer but also in maintaining composure after Inter overturned a 3-2 deficit. Sommer was involved in 61 touches, second only to Alessandro Bastoni, and made seven crucial saves, especially against Yamal. His ability to stay focused, attributed to his yoga and meditation practice, helped ensure Inter's memorable European victory.
