Kylian Mbappé’s bête noire, whom he traumatized during Euro 2020, Yann Sommer announced his international retirement on Monday.
Good news for Kylian Mbappé. He will no longer cross paths with Yann Sommer, or at least not with the French team. The Swiss goalkeeper announced his international retirement on Monday, and will devote himself solely to his club, Inter Milan.
Sommer bows out leaving behind some notable moments, including what Le Matin calls
“his legendary save in front of Mbappé”It was June 28, 2021, in the round of 16 of the Euro, and the Swiss goalkeeper had stopped the French striker’s penalty, for what remains one of the most difficult moments for the Bondynois in the tricolor jersey.
Sommer: “A highlight of my international career”
Sommer returned to this episode on Monday at a press conference.
“Of course it’s a highlight of my international career, he acknowledged. But you have to put it in context. We were playing against a great footballing nation, we had come back from 1-3 to 3-3, and then, at the end of the penalty shootout, that save caused a flood of euphoria and emotion. And then, it was everything that it brought about that made me proud: the whole country took to the streets and celebrated this victory in a crazy way.
