• Matthijs de Ligt produced a brilliant clearance to deny Paris Saint-Germain an easy goal
• Yann Sommer was grateful his teammate prevented a goal and thanked him with treats
• De Light and Sommer decided to do a good deed and donate the gift to a charity in Munich

Yann Sommer knows how to keep his promises to his teammates.

The Bayern Munich goalkeeper was so grateful to defender, Matthijs de Ligt, that he promised to send him a truck full of chocolate.

Why was Sommer thankful?

The keeper was grateful after de Ligt's goal-line clearance during the second leg last game against Paris Saint-Germain.

Sommer was caught on the ball, which presented Vitinha with an open net to score. The midfielder took a game shot at goal, but de Ligt made a last-ditch slide to clear the ball before it crossed the line, PSG Talk reported.

Munich went on to win the match 2-0 and therefore win the tie 3-0 on aggregate. They progressed to the quarter-final of the tournament and dumped the French champions out of the competition.

How Sommer showed his appreciation

To say 'thank you' for saving the goal, Sommer gifted the defender 700 kilograms of chocolate. De Ligt knew he couldn't eat all of the confection himself, so the duo found a better way to use it.

Sommer, de Ligt's sweet surprise

De Ligt and Sommer then donated the chocolate to Münchner Tafel, a charity based in Munich.

The donation came as a huge surprise to the charity, who only knew they were getting a donation from the Bundesliga champions but did not know what it was.

De Ligt's monster clearance

De Ligt pulled off a crucial goal-line clearance worthy of a last-minute goal as Bayern Munich saw off Paris Saint-Germain.

The Bavarians punched their UCL quarter-final ticket after beating PSG 3-0 to deepen the Parisians' European misery.
