Lothar Matthäus birthday tribute to Andreas Brehme: Lothar Matthäus Pays Heartfelt Birthday Tribute to Late Friend Andreas Brehme: The former German national team captain posted a moving Instagram message marking what would have been Brehme's 66th birthday, recalling the 1990 World Cup winner's decisive role and their long friendship.
Lothar Matthäus birthday tribute to Andreas Brehme, Digi Mart USA News: Andreas Brehme would have turned 66 on November 9, and former teammate Lothar Matthäus has marked the occasion with a personal tribute to the late 1990 World Cup winner. Matthäus, who is 65, spoke publicly about his loss earlier in the spring.
Brehme was born on November 9, 1960, in Hamburg and died in Munich on February 20, 2024, after a cardiac arrest. His partner, Susanne Schaefer, said at the time that he had died “suddenly and unexpectedly.” Just 44 days earlier, the football world had lost Franz Beckenbauer.
On Instagram, Matthäus wrote directly to his former teammate: “Happy birthday, my dear friend Andi.” He recalled many memories, a great deal of laughter and special moments they had shared, adding, “I wish you were still here so we could celebrate together.”
He closed with a more personal message: “I miss you, my brother. You will always be part of my life and forever in my heart.” The post included three photos from their playing days.
Brehme is remembered for his decisive moment in the 1990 World Cup final in Rome. Five minutes from the end, he converted a penalty against Argentina to give Germany a 1-0 lead and the title.
Matthäus had been the designated taker but, having changed his boots at halftime and feeling uncertain, handed the kick to Brehme.
The two shared more than that night. They played together at Bayern Munich, then moved to Inter Milan, where they won the Italian league title in 1989.
At both clubs and with the national team, they shared a room. Speaking at a press conference in Munich in March, Matthäus said, “If you sleep with a brother 200 days a year, you really know everything about the other.” He said they had spent much time together privately and had “let loose now and then.” Matthäus still keeps some mementos of his friend at home.
