Bundesliga 2019-20: 3 key players behind the success of Borussia Monchengladbach this season

2. Yann Sommer

The Swiss shot-stopper has been in fine form this season and is a crucial part of the team.

A key figure behind Gladbach's defensive solidarity this season is their goalkeeper, Yann Sommer. Sommer moved to the Borussia Park in 2014 and had a massive task of filling in the boots of Marc-Andre ter Stegen. Since then, the Swiss international has gone from strength to strength and has established himself as one of the best goalkeepers in the top flight of German football.

Marco Rose holds the experienced keeper in high regard and is getting the best out of him this season. The Gladbach custodian has been a rock between the sticks putting in a string of amazing performances this season. The 31-year-old has played every minute of Bundesliga action in this campaign and has racked up 5 clean sheets with an impressive save rate of 77.14%.

The Swiss golkeeper is in his peak years and will play a crucial for the Foals in the current title dogfight, as well as the upcoming seasons.
