Inter's Yann Sommer Crowned UEFA's Champions League Semifinal MVP
UEFA has officially named Yann Sommer as the standout performer of the second legs of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals, following his heroic display in Inter Milan’s clash with Barcelona.
The Swiss goalkeeper was nothing short of sensational at the San Siro, registering a remarkable 14 saves to help Inter secure their place in the final. His performance not only earned him the Man of the Match award but also solidified his place among Europe’s elite shot-stoppers this season.
Sommer edged out stiff competition from Achraf Hakimi, who starred for Paris Saint-Germain in their dramatic semi-final win over Arsenal. Hakimi had been a key figure in PSG’s progression, but it was Sommer’s goalkeeping masterclass that ultimately stole the spotlight.
The highly anticipated Champions League final between Inter and PSG is set for May 31 at Munich’s iconic Allianz Arena, promising a showdown between two of the most in-form sides in Europe.
