Ex Bayern Munich Star Praised For Heroics In Inter Milan Vs Atalanta Supercoppa Italiana Clash | OneFootball

Inter Milan goalkeeper Yann Sommer has won praise for his outstanding double save against Atalanta in the Supercoppa Italiana.

Today’s print edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, via FCInterNews, note how vital the 36-year-old’s intervention was.

Inter keeper Sommer did not have all that much to do yesterday evening.

At the other end of the match, La Dea keeper Marco Carnesecchi had a starring role. Even though his side lost, it was certainly not the fault of the 24-year-old who produced a string of outstanding saves.

On the other hand, Sommer didn’t have all that many stops to make.

Atalanta had a total of three shots on targets to make.

But when it mattered, Sommer was there to play a decisive part in the match.

Yann Sommer Praised For Outstanding Double Saves Vs Atalanta

Sommer is used to not having that many saves to make for Inter.

Part of what the Swiss has brought to the Nerazzurri goal is the maturity to remain switched-on even in matches where he is a spectator for long periods.

Atalanta did force Sommer into action once, in a big way.

The former Bayern Munich and Borussia Monchengladbach keeper initially had to react quickly to parry a header by Berat Djimsiti.

Then, Ademola Lookman attempted to turn in the rebound.

The reaction from Sommer was even quicker as he set himself and got a strong effort to the Nigerian international’s effort.

Inter were 2-0 up when Sommer made that eye-catching double save.

By preserving the clean sheet, the veteran keeper made sure that the finale of the match was a stress-free one for his team.
