Watch live online Germany v Argentina

Argentina have only scored eight goals in the run up to the final, compared to Germany's 17. After their drubbing of the hosts, the Germans are now the highest scorers in World Cup history with 223 goals, overtaking Brazil.

In a tournament forever remembered as the Maradona show, Germany fell two-nil behind in Mexico City early in the second half. The Germans, managed by Franz Beckenbauer, pegged it back to 2-2, with goals from Karl-Heinz Rummennigge and Rudi Voller with less than 10 minutes to play. The contest looked to be going into extra time before one moment of brilliance from an otherwise quiet Maradona made the winning goal.
El Diego played an inch-perfect through ball to Jorge Burruchaga who rushed towards goal and shot under German stopper Schumacher to make it 3-2 in the dying embers of the game. It was West Germany's second consecutive World Cup final defeat and Argentina's last triumph in the competition.

The two sides met in the following World Cup in an equally tight affair at the Stadio Olympico. This time the Germans, who were making their fourth consecutive appearance in the final, enacted revenge in a game considered to be one of the worst World Cup final spectacles ever. Following the end of the Berlin wall, the newly united Germany would also be playing their final tournament as West Germany and were favourites ahead of the clash.
