West Germany v France (1982 FIFA World Cup)
West Germany v France was a FIFA World Cup semi-final match that took place at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium in Seville, Spain, on 8 July 1982 and is in both countries known as Night of Seville (, ). The match was won by West Germany on penalty kicks (5–4); West Germany advanced to face Italy in the final. Thanks to its back-and-forth drama, four goals in extra time, and a dramatic penalty shootout, this game is regarded as one of the best football matches of all time. It is considered by French captain Michel Platini to be his "most beautiful game." West Germany's victory was the first time in World Cup finals history that a shootout determined the outcome.
