In a photo from his playing days, Brehme can be seen in the German national jersey.
Standing on one leg might make him feel like he is losing his balance during this action.
Appropriately, the caption says: “Always keep your balance.”

It shows a photo of the San Siro, the traditional stadium of the Milan clubs.
Brehme himself played at Inter for four years.

Last Instagram story after emergency call
Brehme's last story for the time being was published on Tuesday.
It refers to the matchday of his long-standing club Inter Milan, which faces Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.
But according to
Bild,
the emergency call was received yesterday (February 19, 2024) at 11:30 p.m.
Accordingly, Brehme suffered a cardiac arrest, after which any help came too late.
The social media agency that runs the world champion's Instagram account does not appear to have been informed at this point.
Many fans took to the Instagram post to express their condolences.
In addition to some German fans, many Italians express their sadness - he is a legend there too.
