Rahn shoots from the background and justifies the miracle of Bern, Germany’s first World Cup triumph against seemingly overwhelming Hungary. The golden generation remains unfinished and afterwards has to contend with the most severe reprisals in its own country.

Brazil defends the World Cup title as the second team – Pelé was only able to play in the first two games and then sits injured on the bench. For Czechoslovakia there is the second defeat in the second final.

The legend of the Wembley goal is born: Hurst overcomes BRD keeper Hans Tilkowski in extra time, the Brall bounces off the bottom edge of the bar onto the ground, Weber heads him out. The referee decides on a goal – controversial to this day.

Pelé finally immortalized himself with his third world title and goals in two World Cup finals. The coach is Mario Zagallo, who was still a world champion as a player in 1958 – only Franz Beckenbauer has managed that in 1974/1990 and Didier Deschamps in 1998/2018.

The Aztec Stadium is once again the scene of a legendary performance: Diego Maradona, for once, didn’t score in the final himself – but it was his performance that brought the Albiceleste there. He prepared the decisive goal.

Four years later, Germany managed to get revenge against Maradona & Co. “D10S” hardly sees a trick against the man coverage of the defense around Guido Buchwald. Brehme converted the penalty kick against the alleged “penalty killer” Sergio Goycochea. Franz Beckenbauer is the second to become world champion both as a player and as a coach.

Italy versus France or Materazzi versus Zidane. Both score in regular time. In extra time, the Italian defender provoked the Frenchman into launching his famous headbutt.

Oranje has the best chances in the third attempt in a World Cup final, but Arjen Robben and Co. just can’t score against Spain’s golden generation. Barcelona star Iniesta is on hand in extra time in a particularly tough game. Rafael van der Vaart can no longer block the ball…

Then Götze does it – as requested by commentator Tom Bartels.
