The player of the Match in a high-scoring contest rarely goes to the goalkeepers. But after the performance of Swiss goalkeeper Yan Sommer in the second leg of Inter Milan vs Barcelona, it would’ve been tough to give it to any player.

Rising among the top performers like Denzel Dumfries and Lautaro Martinez, Sommer played a huge part in Inter Milan’s spot in the finals. FC Barcelona, losing 6-7 on aggregate to Inter Milan, were undone by Sommer as he had his crucial moments to shine. Denying Lamine Yamal multiple times in the dying moments, Sommer made some exquisite saves over both contests.
