Watch it on DAZN

The term “legend” is often used inflationarily—but in this case, it fits: In an interview with DAZN reporter Marco Hagemann shortly before his 70th birthday, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge looks back on his successful career as a player, which took him from Lippstadt to the soccer metropolis of Munich, to Milan, and finally to Geneva. In addition to numerous entertaining anecdotes about his first encounters with Kaiser Franz Beckenbauer, who died in 2024, Italian movie nights with his Milan coach, and the traditional pre-game cognac, Rummenigge also looks back on his time with the national team, whose crowning glory in the 1980s was thwarted by Italy, the country he longed to visit, and later Argentina.
