On May 7, in the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, Inter Milan defeated Barcelona 4-3 at home and entered the final with a total score of 7-6. In this game, Inter Milan's 36-year-old goalkeeper Sommer was like a cheat, contributing 7 divine pounces, and was the biggest contributor to Inter Milan's promotion.

In this game, the two teams played a big game, almost not defending at all, and fought desperately, which will naturally put huge pressure on their respective goalkeepers. In the first half, Inter Milan led 2-0. In the second half, the situation suddenly changed, and Barcelona quickly scored a goal and the score became 1-2.

In the 57th minute, Barcelona counterattacked 3-for-2 in the frontcourt, Martin made a cross from the left side of the penalty area, Eric Garcia in the middle was unguarded, and there was a huge empty goal in front of him. When Garcia touched the ball, Sommer was still on the left side of the goal.

When he saw his opponent's shot, he immediately turned on the "television", moved 3 meters in 1 second, and successfully saved the ball! This scene shocked everyone, it was incredible. Many people in Barcelona held their heads and couldn't believe all this.

After that, Barcelona still tied the score and scored the third goal in the 87th minute, overtaking the score to 3-2. In the 93rd minute, Inter Milan tied the score tenaciously. However, there is still time to stoppage time, so Barcelona continues to attack. In the 90th and 6th minute, Yamal dribbled the ball and broke into the penalty area, with only Sommer in front of him. Yamal shot, but Sommer didn't give him a chance and blocked the ball steadily. If Yamal scored this goal, it would be an absolute final victory.

In overtime, Inter scored in the 99th minute and led 4-3. In the 114th minute, Barcelona counterattacked, Yamal dribbled the ball and cut inward horizontally, and then shot the goal from the far corner. Yamal's shot was of extremely high quality, with a fast speed and a sharp angle, and headed straight to the back post.

Sommer tried his best to stretch his body and touch the ball with his back hand. In the end, he succeeded - the ball touched the tip of his right finger, and the ball then rubbed the post and went out of the bottom line. If Sommer didn't touch this ball, he would definitely make it. After blocking Yamal's final goal twice, Sommer successfully helped the team win. After the game, Sommer was undisputedly elected as the best in the game. He contributed a total of 7 divine pounces, which put the Barcelona superstars in despair. In the 13 Champions League games this season, Sommer has been a clean opponent in 7 times.

After the game, Sommer said in an interview: "The hardest of the seven saves? I don't know, but the last time was very special (blocked Yamal's 114-minute shot), and I'm very happy that goal was not scored."
