After their triumph against France, Switzerland is in the EM quarter-finals. Goalkeeper Yann Sommer joked about the cinematic performance.
The Swiss national team is actually in the EM quarter-finals at Uefa Euro 2020. On Monday evening she threw the French world champions completely surprisingly out of the tournament after 120 minutes of sweaty minutes and a subsequent penalty shoot-out. The Swiss owe this to their goalkeeper Yann Sommer (32), who blocked the decisive penalty from superstar Kylian Mbappé (22).
In the subsequent ZDF interview, Sommer could hardly believe his luck. When asked whether the game resembled a Hollywood script, Sommer put on a smile and joked: “Crazy, I’ll call Robert De Niro (77) later to see if he would like to play me in the biopic.”
France was the favorite of the European Championship
Before the game, hardly anyone thought a victory for the Swiss national team was possible. In the 80th minute, Switzerland was 3-1 behind France. Two Swiss goals shortly before the end, one in the 81st and one in the 90th minute, forced the favorites into extra time and finally to penalties. The rest is history.
Sommer was overjoyed: “I’m still standing a bit next to me. It was an unbelievable evening of football. We showed a lot of moral and heart. We left everything on the pitch today. When you come back against the world champions after two goals behind, it’s unbelievable. I’m unbelievably proud of the team. ”
