40 years have passed since the ’82 World Cup was held in Spain, but football remains in the memory of how dozens of footballers shone their own light in such a tournament. At Mundo Deportivo we have made the perfect ‘eleven’ for the championship, leaving real ‘cracks’ like Sócrates (Brazil), Littbarski (Germany), Platini (France) or Boniek (Poland), among to others, because they did ‘fit all.
Dino Zoff (Italy)
Key to Italy becoming champion. At 40 years old, he is a real wall under the ‘Azzurra’ goal sticks.
Fulvio Collovatti (Italy)
He honored like few others what it was like to be an Italian defender. Tough and strong against, he is a lock in many games.
Claudio Gentile (Italy)
His scoring with Diego Armando Maradona will forever remain in the memory. But in the remaining games he also performed at a high level.
Hans-Peter Briegel (Germany)
Alternating between defense and midfield, he was one of those who gave Germany the consistency they needed to reach the final.
Bruno Conti (Italy)
A dagger on the right wing of the ‘Azzurra’. Continued danger for rival defenses.
Alain Giresse (France)
Despite the fact that he was unable to get France into battle for the title, he left signs of his class in the ‘bleu’ midfield.
Marco Tardelli (Italy)
Essential in the ‘Azzurra’ engine room. He scored one of three goals in the final against Germany.
Zico (Brazil)
Socrates shone, but Zico did more. He scored 4 goals in that Brazil could have more than he did.
Junior (Brazil)
The owner of the left lane of the ‘canarinha’ at that World Cup. His band rides are more than scary.
Paolo Rossi (Italy)
Golden Boot and Golden Ball of the tournament. Little more to add to explain that Spain’82 was Rossi’s World Cup.
Karl-Heinz Rummenigge (Germany)
The soul of a German who has reached the final fall here against Italy. He scored 5 goals.
