Vita

Jean-Marie Pfaff has been one of the world's most successful and well-known goalkeepers since the 1980s. Pele named him one of the best footballers in the world (FIFA 100). He was voted the first World Goalkeeper of the Year in 1987, was twice named Europe's best goalkeeper, and earned 61 caps for Belgium. He won two European Championships and two FIFA World Cups, finishing runner-up at the 1980 European Championship and fourth at the 1986 FIFA World Cup in Mexico. He played against world football greats such as Maradona, Beckenbauer, and Platini. As Bayern Munich's No. 1, the "Belgian Bavarian" won three consecutive Bundesliga titles between 1982 and 1988 alongside Rummenigge, Breitner, and Matthäus, as well as two DFB Cups and two Supercups. In 1987, he played in the UEFA Champions League final. "He was one of us," said Sepp Maier, and for Oliver Kahn and an entire generation, he was "his role model." Toward the end of his career, he was one of the first global stars to play in Turkey. Even today, "El Sympatico" is popular and recognized by football fans, the public, and the media in Munich and Bavaria, as well as throughout Germany, the Benelux countries, Turkey, and worldwide. Like few other athletes, he embodies the will to win, perfection, and teamwork of a true number 1.
