Description
Celebrate Germany’s 1990 World Cup triumph with this Lothar Matthäus signed football photograph, capturing the legendary captain lifting the FIFA World Cup trophy after victory over Argentina in the final.
This 16 x 12 inch (approximately 40 x 30 cm) photograph has been personally signed by Lothar Matthäus and shows him proudly holding the World Cup trophy following West Germany’s triumph at Italia ’90.
Captained by Matthäus, West Germany faced defending champions Argentina in the World Cup Final at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome on 8 July 1990. A late Andreas Brehme penalty secured a 1-0 victory and delivered West Germany their third World Cup title.
Matthäus was one of the outstanding players of the tournament. Operating at the heart of the team, his leadership, technical ability and powerful performances were instrumental in Germany’s route to the final. As captain, he had the honour of lifting the World Cup trophy after the final whistle, creating the iconic moment captured in this photograph.
His performances for club and country during 1990 also earned Matthäus the Ballon d’Or. He would go on to become one of Germany’s most celebrated footballers, representing his country at five World Cups and earning 150 international caps.
Personally signed directly across the photograph, this piece combines Matthäus’ autograph with an image of the defining achievement of his international career.
Whether you are looking for a Lothar Matthäus signed photo, Germany World Cup memorabilia or a special football gift, this signed 1990 World Cup photograph is a standout collectible celebrating one of German football’s greatest captains.

How do I verify the authenticity of my shirt?
You’ll find a unique serial number on your shirt and/or its certificate. Enter this number on the authenticator’s website to check your item’s authenticity. If you need assistance, we’re here to help.
Will I receive a signing photo or extra proof?
Not all shirts include a signing photo due to image rights. For some items, a signing photo is shown with the product, while for others a photo can be requested separately. In some cases, unfortunately, no signing photo is available. If having extra proof is important for you, please contact us about the specific shirt you’re interested in, we’re happy to clarify what’s possible.
What types of shirts do you offer? Are they all originals?
We offer both original shirts from the year of issue as well as official replicas from specific years or recent releases. If a shirt is an original, this will be clearly mentioned on the product page. Originals usually carry a higher price. Still unsure or have questions? Feel free to contact us for details about a specific shirt.
Why do prices vary so much between shirts?
The price of each shirt depends on several factors: rarity, the popularity of the player, market value, and whether the shirt is a genuine original from that year or a later official replica. Original vintage shirts are often more expensive due to their collectible value and limited availability.
Are signed football shirts a good investment?
Signed shirts of legendary players and rare matches can increase in value over time, especially originals with strong provenance and certification. However, the value can fluctuate based on the player's career, rarity, and collector demand. If you’re looking for shirts as an investment, feel free to ask us for advice. We’re happy to share our experience!
