The Doorman Who Plays Guitar for Springsteen and the Stones

Yann Sommer (Morges, Switzerland, 1988) has become the hero of Switzerland after his save against Mbappé in the last penalty of the round of the round of 16 match against France. A regular at Gladbach and in the national team for a few years, he has demolished the myth that exists in Europe that to be a good goalkeeper you have to be tall. At 1.83 tall, he has become one of the best Swiss goalkeepers in history, good with the feet and tremendously agile under sticks.

But there are many more things that Sommer's exhibition against France has revealed about him. Mainly, his fondness for playing the guitar. In his spare time he is passionate about this musical instrument and more than once he has been seen arriving at the concentrations of his club or the national team with a guitar to liven up his spare time. In fact, he declares himself an unconditional fan of Bruce Springsteen and the Rolling Stones.

Besides music, he is also passionate about food. In fact, got to have a food blog when he was young. He confesses vegan, although he breaks the rules when he sees a good piece of meat ahead of you.

Same as him, his father was also a professional goalkeeper and he even served as a goalkeeping coach at a club where his son passed. Nobody imagined then that Sommer would become the Swiss goalkeeper with the most caps, 65 to date
