Historical night for the nation of Switzerland as their footballers eliminated reigning world champions from the continental competition. In what was a pure roller-coaster of a game, Swiss lead, then trailed and in the end came out victorious against one of the favourites to win the competition.The greatest moment of last nights match was when Borussia Monchengladbach goalkeeper Yann Sommer deflected the penalty of one of the biggest stars in the world of football, Kylian Mbappe.It was an eruption of joy from the underdogs and their fans – expectedly it caused a wave on social media that a movie should be made about the endeavors of the Swiss at EURO 2020.Mbappe after missing the decisive penalty: “I failed, the sadness is immense”Sommer wasn’t that modest when asked which actor would he like to see playing himself in such a movie.’I’ll give Robert De Niro a call to see if he wants to play me,’ the goalkeeper told German broadcaster ZDF.’We noticed that the French had a phase after the two goals (to put them 3-1 up) where they were slightly arrogant and thought they had won and we took advantage of it.’Sommer and his teammates are in the spotlight now but it was not like that when the tournament started almost three weeks ago. After their 3-0 defeat to Italy in their second group match, under-pressure coach Vladimir Petkovic wrote an open letter to fans asking for their support.World champions are out of the EURO 2020!

And why wouldn’t they feel that way? If you can beat France like that – there is no one you cannot beat.
