Signed Photograph Andreas Brehme – Decisive Penalty World Cup Final Italy '90 – Germany Champion – COA Included

The autographed photo of Andreas Brehme: the penalty that gave Germany the 1990 World Cup in Italy

A color photograph of extraordinary historical value that immortalizes one of the most iconic moments in world football history: the decisive penalty converted by Andreas Brehme in the 1990 FIFA World Cup final in Italy, played on July 8, 1990, at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome against Argentina. The shot captures the exact moment of the kick, with Argentine goalkeeper Sergio Goycochea making a spectacular dive towards the ball, while Brehme's teammates — recognizable by the numbers 7 and 3 on their West Germany jerseys — watch in disbelief the action that would decide the world title. An original security hologram from the Autografia Association (code AA21242) is already applied to the piece, providing an additional visual guarantee of authenticity alongside the documentary certification. Its dimensions of 29.5x20.5 cm make it a display piece of extraordinary narrative power. Andreas Brehme's original autograph is affixed with a black marker in the lower right, large, clear, and perfectly legible. Excellent condition, impeccable preservation.

The Champion: Andreas Brehme

Andreas Brehme (Hamburg, November 9, 1960) is a football coach and former German footballer, who played as a defender or midfielder, considered one of the strongest full-backs of his generation. With the German national team, he became a world champion in 1990 — scoring the decisive penalty immortalized in this photograph — a World Cup runner-up in 1986, and a European Championship runner-up in 1992. After starting his career at Barmbek-Uhlenhorst and Saarbrücken, he played five seasons at Kaiserslautern and two at Bayern Munich, winning a German championship (1986-1987) and a German Supercup (1987). He then moved to Inter, winning a Scudetto (1988-1989), an Italian Supercup (1989), and a UEFA Cup (1990-1991) over a four-year period, becoming one of the most beloved foreign stars in Italian football. After a spell at Real Zaragoza, he returned to Kaiserslautern, where he ended his career by winning further German titles.

What is an original autographed photograph?

A genuine autographed photograph is a unique historical document where the protagonist's signature was directly applied to the print in certified presence, without intermediaries. It is distinguished from printed reproductions or facsimiles by precise and verifiable elements: the natural and irregular pressure of the stroke, the three-dimensionality of the ink on the photographic surface, the spontaneity of the graphic gesture. In the case of photographs that immortalize absolute historical moments — such as a World Cup final decided by a single technical gesture — the collectible value is exponentially amplified by the uniqueness and unrepeatability of the event depicted. In addition to these elements, the free MTM Letter of Authenticity (LOA) and the COA included in the price provide internationally recognized protection.
