Sommer gave De Ligt 700 kg of Swiss chocolate for his intervention against PSG. It ended up going to charity

This is a special gift. Matthijs De Ligt saved Yann Sommer’s ass last week against PSG when the Swiss goalkeeper made an unnecessary tackle and the Dutch stopper then kicked the ball off the line. For that, he deserved 700 kilos of Swiss chocolate.

Bayern Munich’s clash with PSG was one of the most watched in the Champions League eight-finals. The German side lost the injured Manuel Neuer in the winter and had to look for a replacement.

He found one in Borussia Mönchengladbach, who he couldn’t beat due to the amazing performances of Yann Sommer. So he bought the Swiss goalkeeper for himself.

Sommer contributed to a 1-0 win in Paris in the first leg, but was almost an outlaw in the return leg. While his reflexes on the line are excellent, he will probably never replace Neuer with his footwork.

Towards the end of the first half, he received a pass from a defender, was pressed by Hakimi on one side and Mbappe on the other, probably the fastest duo in the world. But instead of taking the rebound, he took the flick, Hakimi punched the ball away and Vitinha headed into an empty net.

However, the spirited Matthijs De Ligt spotted the big problem, sprinted into the exposed goal and with a fantastic slide kicked the ball just short of the line.

Sommer had to thank his teammate enough for correcting his mistake. Bayern eventually took the game to a 2: 0 win and advanced, god knows how it would have turned out if PSG had scored at 1: 0.

“I can’t thank him enough. To congratulate him, I’ll have to deliver a truckload of Swiss chocolates to his house,” the 34-year-old goalkeeper said after the game.

The Swiss goalkeeper kept his promise and delivered the chocolates.

Since a professional athlete would probably not use 700 kilos of chocolate, the two players agreed that the chocolate would eventually go to a charity in Munich.
