Yann Sommer is hardly challenged in the Nati's 2:0 win against Italy. After the game, Inter Milan congratulate their goalkeeper on qualifying for the quarter-finals - much to the annoyance of many Inter fans.
No time? blue News summarizes for you
- Inter Milan congratulated Yann Sommer on social media for qualifying for the round of 16 - even though he had just eliminated Italy with the national team.
- The post caused confusion among some users.
- Five players from Italy's European Championship squad play for Inter Milan.
Switzerland defeats Italy to reach the quarter-finals of the European Championships. The Italian champions and employer of Yann Sommer took this as an opportunity to congratulate their goalkeeper on qualifying for the next round.
The fact that an Italian club is congratulating a player who has just knocked Italy out of the tournament himself is causing quite a stir online.
"You guys suck ..."
"You guys suck! Italy lost!" wrote one user on "X". Another user is unsure: "Is it the official page or is it a meme page?". Another writes: "As an 'Interista' (Inter fan, ed.), this post is inadmissible. Italy has just said goodbye in a shameful way."
However, there are also comments of a more positive nature, or probably to be enjoyed with a wink, such as this one: "Great Yann, sending the Italian Inter players on vacation so they'll be ready on the first day of League 24/25!" Five Italians in the European Championship squad play for the Italian champions.
Sommer kept 19 clean sheets for the Narazzurri last season. "Another spectator game for Yann," was another comment on Switzerland's demonstration of power over Italy.
