Yann Sommer welcomes Club Brugge reunion with Inter

Using experience at Club Brugge

Sommer contrasted Club Brugge’s youthful group with the more experienced Inter team he played for. He said he tries to bring calm and stability, particularly in his role as goalkeeper, and to help younger players draw on the experience of senior teammates.

He named Hans Vanaken and Brandon Mechele among the experienced Club Brugge players helping to steady the team. Sommer described the younger squad members as players who are still learning and developing.

A clear Champions League target

Sommer said Club Brugge’s principal objective is to get through the league phase and progress to at least the next round. He noted that the competition demands top form and leaves little room for mistakes.

Looking back on Inter

The goalkeeper said he was eager to see familiar faces in Milan after spending three years at Inter and competing for and winning titles with the club. He also looked forward to experiencing San Siro with Club Brugge.

Reflecting on Inter’s 2024/25 Champions League campaign, Sommer recalled its matches against Bayern and Barcelona as highlights. He said reaching the final required hard work and many details to go right, and described the 5-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the final as deeply disappointing while expressing pride in the team’s campaign.

Why the competition matters

Sommer called the Champions League special, citing the emotion around its matches and the chance for young players to face leading teams. He said he has always enjoyed the high standard of play.
