André Schürrle crosses the ball to Mario Götze, who scores to give Germany the lead in the final. The game is over several minutes later and like in 1954, 1974 and 1990 Germany have won the World Cup. One Night in Rio: A memorable party in Brazil’s metropolis on the Copacabana.

“Wer friert uns diesen Moment ein?” (Who will capture this moment for us?) are lyrics from an Andreas Bourani song which was heavily linked to Germany’s success this summer. The answer is the creator of this book: Paul Ripke. The photographer followed Germany on their road to a World Cup triumph.

Full of great emotions

The pictures show unusual perspectives and the entire, beautiful truth. Paul Ripke has taken golden moments full of great emotions and created eternal memories. The night in Rio de Janeiro ends at Berlin’s Brandenburger Gate. “One Night in Rio”: Amazing moments captured in time, as Germany collected their fourth star.
