THE LOUIS NICOLLIN FOOTBALL WORLD CUP COLLECTION


14- Ball

France vs. Germany semi-final
1982 World Cup – Spain
On July 8, 1982, in Seville's Sanchez Pizjuan stadium, the France/Germany match, which would send one team to the final, reached the heights of drama. It haunted the nights of the French players and fans for a long time. Patrick Battiston's serious injury, the dramatic turnaround when France was leading 3-1, the missed penalties by Didier Six and then Maxime Bossis, and ultimately, the cruel disappointment… As a side note, that penalty kick was given to Louis Nicollin by… Didier Six!
