Andreas Brehme died of a heart attack in Munich on the night of Monday to Tuesday. Author of the goal that gave Germany the world title in 1990, his death comes a few weeks after that of the coach who guided that team, Franz Beckenbauer.

“These are very sad days for German football and for that team," says Pierre Littbarski, another glory of German football. That year he won the Bronze Ball, after Matthäus and Totó Schillaci and ahead of Paul Gascogne and Franco Baresi.
