Things are currently going well for Yann Sommer and Inter Milan.
The Nati goalie has impressive statistics.
20 minutes compares the services.
Inter Milan’s 1-0 win over Roma is representative of the Nerazzurri’s performances in the championship: powerful, dominant and, above all, without the opponent having any great chances. In the end on Sunday the shots were 19:3 and possession was 63 to 37 percent. Because Inter currently has an outstanding goalkeeper in Yann Sommer, the opponent’s goal scoreboard often shows zero.
The 34-year-old has so far gone without conceding a goal in seven of ten games, has only conceded a total of five goals (one of them from a penalty) and has an impressive defense rate of 80 percent despite the few shots from his opponents. All three numbers seem record-breaking. Which one is really a record?
As good as Alisson
Seven clean sheets in the first ten Serie A games was only achieved by current Liverpool keeper Alisson Becker (for Roma in 2017) before the summer. That means: shared record, not a single record.
Best value in top 5 leagues
The seven clean sheets are a shared record, even compared to the top 5 leagues in Europe: Marcin Bulka, the Polish goalie for Ligue 1 leaders Nice, can also claim that.
Yann Sommer has everything going his way in Milan.

2nd place in number of goals conceded
Nice also stands in the way of Inter’s record in terms of the number of goals conceded. With four goals conceded, the southern French conceded one fewer goals than the Milanese.
Defense rate close to the best
With 80 percent of saved shots, Sommer is in third place in the top five leagues. First is – who else? – Nice’s Marcin Bulka (83 percent), followed by Monza’s Michele Di Gregorio (81 percent) and Sommer.
Number 1 across all competitions
Sommer remains unrivaled if you take into account Sommer’s three games from the Champions League. The Zurich player kept a clean sheet eight times in 13 appearances – the only record in Europe’s five major leagues.
Summer was already in Italy a week ago with its sixth clean slate been celebrated. The sports bible “Gazzetta dello Sport” wrote of a “solid, attentive and experienced goalkeeper”. He has long been popular with the Inter fans themselves into the hearts of the fans. If you look at the (defensive) performance of the Serie A leader, more records are likely to fall soon. Summer itself raved recently compared to 20 minutes from his new club.
