Andreas Brehme dies aged 63 || German football player Andi Brehme Passed Away - Andreas Brehme
German football legend Andreas Brehme has died aged 63 after suffering a cardiac arrest at his home in Munich.
A set-piece specialist who could play in multiple positions on the left, Brehme is best remembered for scoring the winning penalty in the 1990 World Cup final.
His 85th-minute spot-kick - whipped into the left-hand corner with his 'weaker' right foot - famously gave Germany a 1-0 victory over Argentina in Rome, having beaten England in the semi-finals.
"FC Bayern is deeply shocked by the sudden death of Andreas Brehme," said the German club.
He was a German professional football player and coach. At international level, he is best known for scoring the winning goal for Germany in the 1990 FIFA World Cup Final against Argentina from an 85th-minute penalty kick.
At club level, Brehme played for several teams in Germany, and also had spells in Italy and Spain.
Rest in peace
Funeral information will be shared soon.
Our condolences are with him and his family & friends.
