Inter Milan goalkeeper Sommer retires from international football

After much contemplation, the 35-year-old announced today that he has chosen to retire from his position as goalkeeper for the Swiss national team.

"It was a great honour and privilege to represent my country in 94 international matches at the highest level over twelve years. 

"After another great final round in the European Championship in our neighboring country, Germany, where I previously spent unforgettable years in the Bundesliga, the time has come to say goodbye.

“I look back with pride and remember the many unforgettable moments, the exciting matches, the victories we celebrated together and the challenges we overcame together.”
