Switzerland on Saturday after a 1-1 draw with Kosovo managed to qualify for the tenth consecutive major tournament, securing a place in the final stage of Euro2024.
Having secured qualification, coach Murat Yakin set the players free to celebrate, leaving it up to them when to return to the hotel.
The only requirement for Switzerland's stars was that they all be fit on Tuesday in order to beat Romania to clinch top spot in the group.
According to "20 Minuten", the football players and the staff of the national team celebrated until the early hours of the morning in Basel, but one of the players in particular overdid the party.
Inter goalkeeper Yann Sommer has driven to Zurich, with eyewitnesses saying he made a surprise appearance in the middle of the night at the Klaus members' club in Langstrasse.
The 34-year-old was in a good mood and had drinks at the Klaus club, then left through the back door around 8:00 am.
A few hours later, Sommer was due to return to Basel, from where the national team flew to Bucharest at 16:30 on Sunday, but it seems that he overindulged in alcohol after learning on Saturday that he would not be defending Switzerland's quadrangle. in Romania.
Yvon Mvogo took his place on Tuesday evening as Switzerland lost top spot in the group after narrowly losing 1-0 in Bucharest.
But the fact that the goalkeeper of Inter was seen drunk was enough for the national team to be harshly criticized in Switzerland.
Xherdan Shaqiri seems to have been worried about the unrestrained players. Asked by the media after the match with Romania what kind of mood he had in the dressing room, he said: " There was music, can you imagine ".
The festive mood is also shown in a group photo of the Swiss Football Association (SFV) with the team, coach and staff cheering together. (A2 Televizion)
