After the death of Andreas Brehme at the age of 63, there has been an outpouring of tributes for the Germany legend and World Cup winner.

German football legend Andreas Brehme, who famously scored the winning goal in the 1990 World Cup final, has sadly passed away at the age of 63.

Brehme was a key figure for both West Germany and Germany throughout the 1980s and 1990s, and his late penalty against Argentina in Rome secured the World Cup victory 34 years ago.

Tributes have poured in for the former defender from his former clubs, with Inter announcing that their players will wear black armbands in their UEFA Champions League match against Atletico Madrid on Tuesday as a mark of respect for Brehme.

Bayern, where Brehme spent two seasons and won a Bundesliga title, expressed their deep sadness at his sudden passing and extended their sympathies to his family and friends. They also emphasized that Brehme will always hold a special place in the FC Bayern family.

After leaving Bayern, Brehme enjoyed a successful four-year spell in Italy with Inter, where he won Serie A and UEFA Cup trophies. Inter also mourned the loss of the German great, highlighting his 154 appearances for the club, 12 goals, and his contributions to winning a scudetto, a UEFA Cup, and a Supercoppa Italiana. In honor of Brehme, the Nerazzurri will wear black armbands during their game against Atletico Madrid.

Kaiserslautern, where Brehme achieved back-to-back second-tier and Bundesliga titles in the 1990s, also paid tribute to their former player. They acknowledged his ten-year tenure with the club, during which he became a German champion and German Cup winner. The club emphasized Brehme’s role in firing the German national team to the World Cup title in 1990 with his penalty, solidifying his status as a football legend. Kaiserslautern expressed their deep mourning and sent their thoughts to Brehme’s family and friends during this difficult time.
