His tactical foresight during the final against the USSR showcased a maturity well beyond his years.
Looking ahead, Julian Nagelsmann, set to lead Germany in EURO 2024, might just reset this record. At only 36 years old, his modern, aggressive play style could bring a new era of success to the German squad.
