The story
"Der Titan" — uniquely intense, technically perfect, the only goalkeeper ever to win the World Cup Golden Ball (2002). Bayern Munich legend with 8 Bundesliga titles and the 2001 Champions League. His fierce on-field demeanour combined with vulnerability after the 2002 final (where his only mistake led to Brazil's first goal) made him the most human of German goalkeepers.
