1982 World Cup Final

The final between Italy and West Germany is played at the Bernabéu, home of Real Madrid. Italy were the surprise team of the tournament. They looked very weak team until Rossi began scoring against Brazil.



In the Final, Italy started badly. Two of their best players were injured in the first half. They also missed a penalty.

But West Germany were tired after extra time against France. When Rossi scored in the second half they couldn't come back. Italy went 3-0 ahead until a late consolation goal for West Germany brought the score back to 3-1.

Italy and Brazil were now the only countries to win the World Cup three times.

In 2006 Italy won the World Cup for a fourth time.
