Gregor Kobel (25) defends his spot at the top of the “Kicker” ranking of goalkeepers in the Bundesliga. However, the Swiss national goalkeeper in the service of Borussia Dortmund was not classified in the world class category, but as an international class.

He remains the best in the league, despite the fateful blunder in the top match against Bayern Munich. The “kicker” explains: “Borussia’s excellent actions far surpassed his weaker scenes.”

In addition, “Kobel’s heroics, but also the overall appearance of Kobel form the basis” for the choice for the top of the ranking.

Summer is no longer on the list

Yann Sommer (34), who finished second in this ranking at the end of the year and then switched from Borussia Mönchengladbach to Bayern Munich, is no longer on the list.

Stiel sees summer as a ‘victim in Munich’

Sommer was “a victim in Munich”, former Swiss national goalkeeper Jörg Stiel (55) wrote in “Kicker”. “Of course he didn’t always take his actions for granted, like in Gladbach. But he got caught between the mills, in a discussion where, when the pressure was high, many things were attached to him first,” said Stiel.

The comparisons with Sommer’s predecessor Manuel Neuer (37) are considered completely unnecessary: ​​”At the World Cup, wasn’t Manuel Neuer also part of the problem in the German team?”

Omlin is praised by the “kicker”.

After Kobel, Mark Flek (30, Freiburg) and Kevin Trapp (32, Frankfurt) follow in the standings – ​​both also show international class.

In sixth place in the national test is Sommer’s successor in Gladbach Jonas Omlin (29). The “kicker” notes that the changing of the guard in the Borussia goal worked: “The Swiss, who behaved differently from his compatriot, turned out to be a reliable support most of the time.” (SME/SDA)
