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.
