Yann Sommer has in his first game for Bayern in a duel with RB Leipzig (NOW in the LIVETICKER) conceded his first goal – and then unpacked the advertising arm.
Manuel Neuer is usually known for raising a hand to alert the referee team to an alleged rule violation before Bayern concede a goal. (NEWS: All current information about the Bundesliga)
After Marcel Halstenberg equalized 1-1, new replacement and new signing Sommer, who had come from Borussia Mönchengladbach, saw (in vain) a reason to complain.
“I really thought it was a foul,” Sommer said after the game DAZN: “I was hoping at that moment that the referee would decide on a foul.”
Many viewers of the game also noticed Sommer’s action, which resulted in plenty of reactions.
“First goal conceded in a Bayern jersey and summer straight away with a complaint arm,” wrote Jannik Sorgatz from der Rheinische Post.
“Neuer borrowed the advertising arm from Sommer,” said another user.
“Yes, Xabi Alonso directly directed the game on his debut for Bayern. But the way Sommer raised his arm directly when he conceded a goal is at least as impressive,” it was also read.
Good news for Bavaria: “Summer internalized the complaint arm in the first and only training session.”
