"One Night in Rio" book

Product Description

André Schürrle crosses to Mario Götze, whose shot leaves a nation ecstatic.
And a few minutes later, just as in 1954, 1974 and 1990:
"It's over, over, over -- over!! -- The game is over! -- Germany have won the World Cup."

The celebrations begin: one night in Rio. "Who is going to freeze this moment for us?" sings Andreas Bourani. And this book provides the answer: Paul Ripke.
The photographer's images capture the highlights of the night that Germany won the World Cup. The opening whistle in the Maracana Stadium, Bastian Schweinsteiger's blood, Joachim Löw's tears, Klose's elation, the cup in everyone's hands.
This photographic record "One Night in Rio" is the World Cup winners' way of thanking their fans. It provides an intimate insight into the life of the team.

Through the photographer's lens, fans can be right there in the thick of the action: on the pitch, in the dressing room, at the victory celebrations at the hotel in Rio, on the winners' flight back to Berlin and on the open-top bus, making its way through the crowds that thronged the capital's streets for the victory parade.
Up close, raw and unfiltered. The unusual viewpoints the photos provide reveal the whole, beautiful truth. A pyrotechnic endorphin rush – Paul Ripke's images have captured golden moments and overwhelming emotions for posterity.

The night in Rio de Janeiro ends at the Brandenburg Gate. With the team, with their fans. Select. Moments. Captured in a series of outstanding images in "One Night in Rio" - the perfect souvenir of Germany's 4th World Cup win.
