Rahn shoots from the background and explains the miracle of Bern, Germany’s first World Cup triumph against the seemingly overwhelming Hungary. The Golden Generation remains unfinished and subsequently has to contend with severe reprisals in its own country.

The legend of the Wembley goal is born: Hurst overcomes BRD keeper Hans Tilkowski in extra time, the ball bounces off the bottom edge of the crossbar onto the ground, Weber heads it out of bounds. The referee decides on goal – still controversial today.

Pelé finally made himself immortal with his third World Cup title and goals in two World Cup finals. The coach is Mario Zagallo, who became world champion as a player in 1958 – only Franz Beckenbauer in 1974/1990 and Didier Deschamps in 1998/2018 have achieved that to date.

Four years later, Germany achieved revenge against Maradona & Co. “D10S” hardly sees a stab against the man-marking defense around Guido Buchwald. Brehme converted the penalty against the supposed “penalty killer” Sergio Goycochea. Franz Beckenbauer is the second person to become world champion both as a player and as a coach.

Four years after Paris, Ronaldo shows his extra class: the German team even has advantages in the first half, but always fails in front of the goal. When Oliver Kahn makes a mistake after an outstanding tournament to date, El Fenomeno is there.

Italy against France or Materazzi against Zidane. Both score in regular time. In extra time, the Italian defender provoked the Frenchman so much that he started his famous headbutt. It is the last game of his great career. Fabio Grosso converts the decisive penalty for the team around the outstanding defensive leader Fabio Cannavaro (pictured).

Oranje have the best chances in a World Cup final at their third attempt, but Arjen Robben and Co. simply cannot score against Spain’s golden generation. In a particularly tough game, Barcelona star Iniesta is there in extra time. Rafael van der Vaart can no longer block the ball…

This final is taking place for the third time at a World Cup. After the 7-1 win in the semi-final against Brazil, it took the DFB team until extra time against Lionel Messi & Co., who kept getting stuck with Manuel Neuer and the German defense. Then Götze does it – as asked by commentator Tom Bartels.

Argentina wins the world championship title for the third time. In a breathtaking finale, the penalty shootout decides, in which Argentina’s Emiliano Martínez saves Kingsley Coman’s penalty and Aurélien Tchouameni misses. The Argentines all scored, and the decisive penalty was sunk by Gonzalo Montiel, who took the penalty in extra time to make it 3-3. In focus: Messi crowns his magnificent career with a brace in the final and is honored as player of the tournament!
