Jan Sommer acknowledged that Inter Milan committed too many errors in their humiliating 0:5 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final. The Swiss goalkeeper didn't shy away from the brutal reality while giving credit to the French side's performance.
"PSG truly deserved this victory—they showed a high level of football. We made too many mistakes: we weren't brave enough and often left open spaces. Such a score—0:5—is too harsh, and of course I feel very sorry. But despite everything, I feel proud of the team—we had a great series of games," – Sommer told Sky Sports after the match.
The crushing defeat now stands as the most lopsided result in Champions League final history. Not exactly the kind of record "Inter" hoped to set, is it?
Interestingly, despite this nightmarish conclusion to their European campaign, Sommer's personal statistics for the 2024/25 season remain respectable. The goalkeeper featured in 49 matches across all competitions, keeping his net untouched in 21 of those games – nearly half of his appearances.
According to Statbet, this historic margin of defeat represents a stark contrast to "Inter's" typically solid defensive performances throughout their Champions League journey.
How will the Milan club recover mentally from such a devastating loss? This question will hang over the team as they eventually look toward next season's European campaign.
