Goalkeeper Yann Sommer says that he has a “positive feeling” ahead of Saturday’s Champions League final between PSG and Inter Milan.

The Swiss keeper gave his thoughts in an interview in today’s print edition of the Corriere della Sera, via FCInterNews. He also talked about the possibility of a penalty shootout, and his heroic save on Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal.

Inter Milan are just a couple days away from the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain now.

It will certainly be the most important match of both teams’ seasons.

Inter and PSG have been the two outstanding teams in the Champions League to book their place in Saturday’s final.

The Nerazzurri eliminated the likes of Feyneoord, Bayern Munich, and Barcelona to reach this point. Meanwhile, PSG knocked out Liverpool, Aston Villa, and Arsenal.

Yann Sommer: “I Have A Positive Feeling” Ahead Of PSG Vs Inter UCL Final

Inter keeper Yann Sommer is 36, but this will be his first Champions League final. “This a nice way to end my career,” he said of being here in the closing stages of his playing days.

“With Switzerland at the Euros in 2021 it was an historic moment,” the former Bayern Munich keeper said.

“But then the save against Yamal was worth reaching my first Champions League final.”

“These are two great moments in my career,” Sommer said.

“On Saturday, I’m also returning to my old stadium,” the Swiss noted. He spent half a season in Munich with Bayern, winning the Bundesliga title.

“I have a really positive feeling,” said the Nerazzurri keeper.

Meanwhile, Sommer admitted that he rewatched his incredible save on Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal “a few times.”

“It was an important save. But for me, it was even better to see how we all played together. And then that goal from Frattesi that took us to extra time, and then Frattesi’s goal.”

Then, Yann Sommer commented that “the Champions League season has been totally different for us.”

“In the league we did well. But we dropped too many important points.”

“Now it’s a different story,” Sommer added. “We need to have the courage and focus that we’ve had throughout all our European matches.”

“We’ve deservedly reached the final,” the 36-year-old insisted.

Then, Sommer said that he’s “not thinking about” the prospect of a penalty shootout against PSG.

“Because there’s a whole match to prepare for,” he explained. “Like against Bayern and Barcelona.”

“But if it does come down to penalties, we’ll certainly study it,” he added.
