Matthäus could also be used in all midfield positions, although at an advanced age he could only be found in the sixth position and as a libero. On the field he was a typical leader and endowed with an incredible winning gene. The Bayern legend was known to give everything for 90 minutes and was able to hurt the opponent a lot despite his small size. But even on the way forward, the strong midfielder was often unstoppable. This is also proven by his 204 goals at professional level. Even as a libero, he still managed to launch dangerous attacks or dash forward himself. A combination that is almost unique in football.
