Peter Gulacsi has described former international Andreas Brehme, who died on Tuesday night, as a legend of German soccer. The goalkeeper for RB Leipzig and the Hungarian national team said: "It is a great loss for German and world soccer." He added that scoring the winning goal in a World Cup final was of particular significance. "We will always remember him," said Gulacsi, who himself was only born in 1990, the year in which Brehme's penalty kick sent Germany to the title against Argentina in Rome. Brehme was only 63 years old.
