Signed Photograph Lothar Matthäus – Inter 1989/90 – Shirt Size – 30.5x20.4 cm – COA Included

Autographed photo of Lothar Matthäus in an Inter shirt

An image that captures one of the greatest midfielders in football history in his golden age: Lothar Matthäus in the black and blue Inter Milan shirt, with Misura sponsor and the Scudetto star on his chest. The black and blue striped Uhlsport kit, with the classic collar and long sleeves, places the shot in the German champion's time at Inter, when he led the Nerazzurri to the top of Italian and European football. The ball at his feet, his concentrated gaze, convey the regalness and physical power that made Matthäus the absolute beacon of that team. The original autograph, applied in blue felt-tip pen at the bottom of the image, is large, clear, and perfectly legible. A collector's item dedicated to a Ballon d'Or winner who became a legend of the Nerazzurri club.

The Champion: Lothar Matthäus

Lothar Matthäus (Erlangen, March 21, 1961) is one of the greatest midfielders in football history. Bought by Inter in the summer of 1988, in four seasons with the Nerazzurri he experienced the most important period of his twenty-year career: wearing the number 10, he won the record-breaking Scudetto in 1988/89, the Italian Supercup, and the 1990/91 UEFA Cup, the club's first European victory. In 1990 he was awarded the Ballon d'Or and the following year the first FIFA World Player of the Year, the only German to receive it. Captain and leader, he guided West Germany to triumph in the 1990 World Cup in Italy. He holds the record for World Cup appearances (five editions) and in 2018 he was the first midfielder inducted into Inter's Hall of Fame. An absolute symbol of world football and one of the most beloved foreign players in Nerazzurri history.

What is an original autographed photograph?

An original autographed photograph is a shot on which the subject has personally signed their name, directly and not reproduced. It is distinguished from prints or facsimiles by verifiable elements: the irregular pressure of the stroke, the three-dimensionality of the ink on the surface, the spontaneity of the graphic gesture. In addition to these elements, a free MTM Letter of Authenticity (LOA) is included, along with a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) included in the price for internationally recognized protection. The collectible value of an autographed photograph grows over time in relation to the career, historical relevance, and popularity of the signatory.
