How good was Oliver Kahn actually? #GOAT
New episode of a documentary series where I plan to present all the greatest players of all time and then give them a score so a ranking of the best players can be created. In this episode we take on Oliver Kahn who played for Bayern for most of his career, not only one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time but one of the greatest players of all time. See how Oliver Kahn ranks and just how good he actually was. - Sport
He is the kind of Goalkeeper that would single handedly get his nation in a world cup final.
He is unstoppable
He did though didn’t he? I was too young to watch but I thought he carried Germany to the 2002 WC final.
and then end up conceding two shitty goals
that would be zeti or rogério ceni my friend
Oh really
"Kahn was a beast in the goal."
*Shows him conceding goals*
Thought the same, terrible editing
exactly haha
No kidding! Goal after goal while calling him a world beater. Who edited this?
@@HighFiveGhost50 Someone who wanted to humiliate him lol
Same. I was like "Bro I know he was great I've seen a few of his matches, but I'll be damned if you didn't try to find every match where he conceded a goal."
Mehmet Scholl always said: "I am afraid of war and Oliver Kahn". He was a beast. Crazy. With no fear.
Kahn in 2002 WorldCup is the sole reason I started watching and playing football. Great video
That was the year I started to hate Nazario , still I hate Christiano in today's generation.
Same here my friend :)
@@picklel0vestotickle448 damn what did the Ronaldos do to you
@@justsomeguywithoutabeard8306 ikr
Kahn: Balls, we need balls
"Eier, wir brauchen Eier!"
no, eggs. Cause today is baking group.
I remember that wake up call to his team mates. He was basically saying "You sissies suck" 😁
England vs denmark
@@livinginspiredlife3819 dude we're just exaggerating, nobody is that stupid. Even 2 of me could score 10 goals against 1 Kahn.
You failed to mention the important fact that previous to Ronaldo's first goal, Kahn had broken one of his fingers when saving a shot from the very same Ronaldo. That broken finger made the difference.
had no idea tbh and when researching I didnt find anything about, crazy tho
@@DailyDoseOfFootballYT yep it´s not that easy to find nor that well known to the world, but if you google it especifically, you´ll find a couple of news reporting this. Of Course Kahn said the broken finger played no part in that rebound but we all know he was just too much of a class act to blame the loss on a broken finger.
@@DailyDoseOfFootballYT That is the thing isn't it. He alone lifted our rather poor national team in the finals but his stubbornness to retain the position instead of requesting a replacement due to injury also lost the final. And I'm not blaming him, without him Germany would have never gotten that far.
But we have to recognise that keeping the position was a mistake and there were good options like Jens Lehmann.
In the end Germany didn't deserve the title, didn't get the title and Kahn still played one hell of a cup.
Btw. you can see his broken finger patched up during post match interviews, lol you have footage yourself in this video: 16:26
@@Praxics0815 the Finger was not broken though that was a misreport, it was another Kind of injury.
Also he said millions of times that he didnt feel any pain after the first few seconds
Two things are false about your story.
1. It wad not a broken finger, it was a torn ligament in his finger.
2. It was not caused by ronaldo, it was during warm up, kahn felt little pain but thought it was nothing serious.
Germany has been blessed with some world class keepers and Kahn was nothing less than one of the greats. He hasn't possibly been talked about as much as he should have, but thats partly due to Neuer following on from him. He was similar to Scmeichel, where he often won the mind games with opposing strikers, with one-on-one situations and penalties.
These are the players who deserve a ballon d'Or
Ballon d‘Or committee has had always a bad case of shiny-object syndrome.
Khan was the most exceptional goal keeper this sport could ever have. If he couldn’t get the ballon d’or I doubt any other goalkeeper can.
@@yozo4ru yashin could in 1963 but back in the 1960s to the 1990s players from south America couldn't win it. I don't know who else couldn't win it but back in 1963 played for example Garrincha.

Oliver Kahn inspired me to become a goalkeeper. Though I called it quits in pursuing my dreams after repeated shoulder and ankle injuries, I’ve always found it comforting to relive the days of dreaming and watching the man who inspired my journey.
Oliver Kahn: When the team fear's there own goalkeeper more then the enemy team😂
Love the fact that he didn't celebrate and went to Cañizares to comfort him,from keeper to keeper 💙
Who remembers the time when Bayern were trailing Rostock (IIRC?) and from a corner in stoppage time, Kahn punched the ball into the opposition net, the goal was inevitably disallowed and Kahn was sent off for a second yellow! One of the funniest Hand of God moments along with Scholes, Mbappe etc.
I don't, but that seems like the most Kahn thing ever
He argued that he thought the goalkeeper could touch the ball with the hands in both penalty areas
@@kobischpiek8520 I think that was a joke, even in the interview it sounded like a joke. Anyway, I think it reflects his determination, the ball had to go in, no matter how.
After the game he laughed about it and said "I always thought the goalkeeper was allowed to use his hands in the penalty area"
Really 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣? Khan indeed was humorous.
Honestly ever since I saw Kahn back in 2004 in Germany his Goalkeeping always impressed me and I just think that he was a German Legend. Yes we might have Neuer now, but I like to believe, that just like me, Neuer watched Kahn and found him very inspirational. Kahn is a absolute Legend here in Germany, or atleast to the people I know. He is a true Titan, and could never be replaced - shame he never had a good German Team behind him. I´m pretty sure if he had the former German Team of 2010 - 2014 behind him, his Name would be way more recognized. But no matter - He is still one of the Best Keepers ever and he will keep inspiring the new Generation
well it´s funny cause apparently, Neuer´s idol was none other than Jens Lehmann lol, it´s funny cause Lehmann was NEVER as good as Oliver Kahn... but it is what it is. Kahn was a beast and easily at Neuer´s level during his prime but for better or worse, Neuer surpasses him in pretty much everything.
@@joseantoniozunino8489 Yes but Lehmann played a modern interpretation of the position while Kahn was an oldschool goalkeeper and Neuer modeled his game after Lehmann's. Also Neuer grew up as a Schalke Fan and Lehmann used to play for Schalke. Kahn was still better though and I think it was the wrong decision to let Lehmann play in 2006
As much as I like Kahn Neuer surpassed him and will go down as the greatest goalkeeper of his generation and arguably of all time. The 2000s were dominated by Kahn, Buffon and Casillas and for me they were pretty much on the same level whereas Neuer changed the goalkeeping playing style and won nearly every trophy there is to win along with some legendary performances. However Kahn is the ultimate leader.
@@johnnyedelhoff5866 bro Lehmann didn´t play a modern interpretation at all, lol. he was just another regular goalkeeper if you ask me, also, Lehmann played at Dortmund as well, so as i said, i don´t understand how he became Neuer´s role model lol, especially when he wasn´t half as good as Oliver Kahn was.
@@davinnicode think you underestimate van der Sar. He should be with those names. In my opinion the best goalkeepr ever.
2002 world cup match, germany vs brazil i saw 2 a.m. in night then i literally cried after brazil won, but for oliver kahn.... he was a superrrrr star
Isn't it 2 a. m.
@@restar1180 oppsss... sorry... u r right.... its am
I watched him first in world cup 2002 and that made me a fan of Oliver Kahn and the German side... In my opinion, he's the best goalkeeper I've ever seen. 10/10 for the legend
Have you watched Neuer, De Gea, Buffon and Casillas play? They are better than Kahn was 🙏🏼
Love how the start had him conceding so many goals XD
"Just how good was Oliver Kahn actually?"
/proceeds with Oliver simply watching as the ball continuously strikes the net :D
🤣🤣🤣
Kahn for sure was the most ferocious Bayern player of that era but he wasn't the only lose canon in their squat: Mario Basler and Stefan Effenberg were also close to madness - rivaled also by Uli Hoeneß sitting on the bench. You may not like this club but FC Hollywood was always entertaining back then.
At one occasion Basler went into a club the night before he had a game, was drunken, punched a woman in the face, chain smoked and scored a goal a couple of hours later. That bayern team was WILD.
Kahn was a different animal though like Michael Jordan. Kahn was obsessed even in practice, his hatred to lose made him choke a team mate and Kung fu attack an opposition player. Another similarity to Jordan is that he is off the pitch soft spoken and shy.

Amazing goal keeper
...I came for a tactical analysis of how Khan changed the goalkeeper position, and stayed for a great retrospective! Great video!
He looked terrific! Like the main villian in a sports manga. Even as a child he was already that kind of grimm
His shot prediction was so good that he's even single handedöy responsable for Germany's top 3 finish in world cup 2006. Even tho he was sidelined for the cup and only played the backup role. When it came to penalty shootings against Argentina Kahn handed Jens Lehmann a paper with all the usual locations where the Argentine players usually place the ball. Lehmann was correct on every ball and stopped multiple. Probably in big part to the paper from Kahn that he took out in between the kicks
Correction: the note came from the goalkeeper coach, and Lehmann could not read it. He cursed "why would he (the coach) had to write it in pencil". Mad Jens guessed correctly on his own, only look at it once or twice, but the notes unsettle the Argentinean players. Accidental mind game.
Once in a press conference Oliver Kahn was asked about the performance of modern goalkeepers. That was before Manuel Neuer joined Bayern and Kahn was still Bayerns number one. Kahn said regarding young goalkeepers like Neuer "Mistakes are normal and no goalkeeper can play without mistakes these days. The only one who can do that is me. I recently demonstrated that several times." Then he started smiling and told the journalist with a raised index finger "It was just a joke" and allowed them to laugh.
yeah, so hilarious
One of my childhood heroes and main reason for becoming Bayern fan. Great video! :)
Exactly same for me!
While he appeared like an animal on the pitch, I remember him calm and rational off the pitch. He turned into a good commentator on German TV.
Kahn vs Rivaldo, Cafu, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Ze Roberto.
My boy had no chance. Kahn the legend!
i remember 2002 before the last game in the world cup finals.
There was a big Kahn face printet at the first page of a big german newspaper which where be able to wear as a mask.
I think there is nothing more Iconic then this :D
You know you've got a beast on the goal line when even your own defenders are afraid of him. If he got into competition mode there was no stopping.
But what seperated Kahn from other yelling loud-mouths was that he actually also had the skills to back up his attitude.
One little remark to your video: the 2002 world cup was basically a two man show - it was Kahn who kept the clean sheet and Ballack who somehow made that squad score the goals they needed. But yeah, without Kahn they would've dropped out in the group stage.
My uncle told me once, when Kahn was screeming (and he did that a lot) you could hear him no matter how loud the crowd is in the stadium xD
If you look at the 2002 line up, Germany was never the strongest team but his presence at the back made it possible for them to reach the final.
And it was unexpected
That period was a clown show. I call them the "Jeremis-years". Come on - when a Ballack is the dominant figure...
Honestly, having Kahn and Buffon on similar scores kind of makes sense to me.
They are both legends - although they had different stlyes. And both really have a history of emotion for the sport and the nation.
1.At the 2002 World Cup, Oliver Kahn was the first German player to win the Golden Ball and the Yasin Prize.
2. Bayern Munich won the trophy after being renamed UCL.
3. Oliver Kahn became the first goalkeeper to reach Ballon d'Or's third-place finish for the second consecutive year.
4. He visited Japan, blocked all children's PKs at a PK event organized by a charity, said, "It's natural not to allow a goal in front of my goal," and donated a large check to the donation box.
5. Even in the dark ages of the German national team, Oliver Kahn had such a strong influence that if Oliver Kahn was guarding the goal, it would be enough to score just one goal.
6. Oliver Kahn's 2002 World Cup runner-up would have been impossible without Oliver Kahn. If he had a lot of good colleagues, the results might have changed.
7. Unexpectedly, Oliver Kahn played as the main goalkeeper for the German national team for a very short time.
i remember a 2000 euro where germany lost all matches,i think kahn was their gk and mathauss was old in defense as mid or defender
He dont deserv best player 2002
@@brunomenez8722
Who was better throughout the whole tournament?
@@WERTYUIO821 I don't want to say that he didn't deserved it but you could definitely make a case for Ronaldo being the best
@@LizudemAm
Yeah, Ronaldo was extremely good and would arguably be the best player in any other competition. But Oliver Kahn was like a wall that year. For a Goalkeeper to single handedly(well, +Klose sometimes in attack) manage his team into the final. It is worth for something. While Brazil was either the favourites or just below Italy and France.
reflexes should be easily 10/10
10/10 reserved for Buffon.
If I think about a goalkeeper with incredible reflexes, I always think on Kahn.
no, 11/10 lol
*GOAT* !! and some how very underrated
I was 9yo when I saw Kahn for the first time in 2002 world cup. I was so young, yet I knew he was different than most goalkeepers. You don't see keepers these days.
For many “ears” he was the best
oliver kahn is the reason i support germany and bayern my favorite player of all time
I was lucky enough to have lived through and constantly watched this long line of incredible German goal keepers; Bodo Illgner, Andreas Köpke, Oliver Kahn, Jens Lehmann, Manuel Neuer, Marc-André ter Stegen (and many more active ones who haven't featured enough for Germany due to the dominance of Manuel Neuer)
He is the reason I play football and playing as GK!
He was one of the very best footballer of his days...a role model for all goalkeepers
Not for all. Look at Nübel who went to Bayern to become their secound goalkeeper. That´s not a real goalkeeper in my opinion.
The voice narrating sounds oddly satisfying with this video saying "a machine, instinct...a predator"
It was a very comforting feeling, when i was little (5 years in 95), that we always had kahn standing there as the last man.
He was allready a legend when he was playing. There will not be a second like this one.
Dude, these videos are so good. Very good story telling + animations - awesome work!
the player who led me to become a goal keeper in my youth
I think the 2002 WC was his absolute peak..His GK displays were quite astounding in what was one of the worst German teams i've witnessed..He was crazy but as a GK they say you need a bit of craziness
2002 WC team wasn't that bad. It got ballack n neuville n klose. Sure it might not be the best, but it sure wasn't the worst
The darkest period of our national team. Kahn and Ballack basically carried us for nearly a decade.
@@davinnicode 8 years i think
He had some unbelievable saves in the 2002 tournament
"He tasks me. He tasks me and I shall have him!" - Kahn to every attacker
9:05 "some of the top teams in the league, like HAMBURG (HSV) and WERDER BREMEN". now both in the second devision. man how time changed for some teams...
lmao yeah
Did we really need a video for that! He was a monster, a genius, one of the best goal keeper ever!
The interesting thing about the Neuer generation of goalkeepers is that Neuer is probably the better goalkeeper overall, but Manuel Neuer is just a goalkeeper, while Kahn was a goalkeeper AND a true leader.
Personally I like Oliver Kahn more than Manuel Neuer. Neuer is obviously one of if not the best goalkeeper in the world right now (despite his age) but Kahn had many more shots to save - just from my memories. Back then the league was much closer together than it is today, Bayern didn't just dominate opponents and especially the Champions League required A level games every matchday. There was not that huge gap between very good teams and just good teams. Kahn proved often enough that he alone was the reason for many wins, while Neuer is just doing his part most of the time, he's not the one winning the matches by his performance alone anymore as Kahn did it back then.
I mean of course you still have to score, but you'll always manage to score that one crucial goal.
Oliver Kahn stands for an era of football that is long gone but is missed by many. That was before England sold their football to Arabs, Asians and Americans, before they sold their soul. It was before the Spanish clubs had extremely high debts, it was before teams like Kiev were just "one of many to beat", back then they were fierce competitors.
And Oliver Kahn was the one who taught young goalkeepers the excitement of being a goalkeeper, the mentality aspect of being a professional football player and made goalkeeping worth watching.
Neuer however, to finalize that comparison, is the guy for the stats. He has been showing absolute perfection many times but he is not as exciting and game winning as Kahn was.
still remember him in 2002, I was a kid was in awe of his greatness
he was my best player of the 2000s. Didn't know he was playing before I was born
Guess yourath isn't that good ;)
Love your videos man! Keep up the great work 👌
Kahn made me fall in love with Bayern München 😍 ♥️ him and Stefan, Gio,Lothar ,Sammy...

How good was Oliver Kahn actually?
Well, he got two nicknames throughout his entire football career.
*Der Titan. King Kahn.* 😂

I would imagine Peter Schmeichel is next, as these two legends are tied together as Cruyff and Beckenbauer where
Hello ? Sepp Meier !!!
Dino zoff
I don't recall sepp or Dino being direct rivals to Kahn? Read my comment again, and try, just try to grasp the actual meaning of what was being said. I mean unless you have new knowledge and footage of a career long rivalry between Dino/sepp and Kahn.... 🙄

Excellent proverbs about the evils and rocks in this video. Would love to hear more in future videos.
How German can make so good keepers. You see rn, all three keepers of Germany are reall really great.
We have always had great keepers. Why i dont know
Bodo Ilgner, Andy Kopke, Oliver Kahn, Sepp Maier, H.J.Butt, Neuer, H.Schumacher, Reck,... Germans and Italians always had a great GK s !
Oliver Khan. Now thats a name you dont simply forget. I dont watch club matches when come to football. I only watch the world cup. That being said, when Khan was the main goal keeper, that was the most frustrating match to see especially when they were going against your favorite team. I mean damn. Ball after ball gets deflected and safe by Khan, you cant help to cheer for him after your favorite team was defeated by Germany.
"To be a good goalkeeper, you have to be mad. Maybe even very mad."
Oliver Kahn
all your videos are great man
Love it! Little Detail - 02:58 Red Bull Salzburg was not a thing yet back then ;)
Crazy how he kicked that ball there. And how he yelled. And all those goals scored on him. I can tell he was a brick wall.
I think a skill to consider when calculating score is sweeping. Kahn was a total beast at this and it’s still one of the rarest keeper skills.
Khan, Barthez and Casillas where my favorite 3 goalkeepers of all time. I loved "role-playing" them while goalkeeping as a kid... And since I'm bald now, I could easily fit into Bartez role again lol... Sadly after 30s, not much time for football.
fully agree but dont forget to count two italians, Dino Zoff & Gianluigi Buffon
He was very good at saving shots. Saw him saving Roberto Carlos' shot and was incredible.
Khan !!! 🤩⚽️🏆🏅🏆⚽️🤩
He was, will be n is allway a legend.... he is beast of the best...
At 13:49 great fair play from him, he goes after the win to talk with Canizares
One city he is probably not fond of is Bucharest. A month before Euro 2004, in a friendly, he conceded 5 goals to Romania in what was one of the biggest disasters for the German national team (they only scored 1). After the game, Kahn's declaration was as blunt as one would expect from him: "They slaughtered us!" - although none of the goals was his fault.
What a career holy shit. Great vid man!
always bought him in my fifa milan team as a kid lol
In the words of the great Willian Shatner,
Kahhhhhhnnnnnnnn!
Kahn, neur, ter stegan Germany has some real depth in goalkeepers position hahaha
Leno as well
Not just has, always had. Andi Köpke (now goalkeeper coach for the national side), sepp maier, lehmann, toni schumacher, as well as the depth nowadays. Baumann(hoffenheim), trapp(frankfurt) or ortega(bielefeld) could make the national sides of competitive nations if they weren't german. It is also something not just specific to football, like german keepers in ice hockey (grubauer and the other one) and handball (thiel, fritz, wolff, bitter, ramota, quenstedt, heinevetter) are also outstanding.
Ter stegan lmfao
Well, dont get me start with italy 😆
@@Hardik_Srivastava01 Leno 😂😂😂😂😂
Living legend, nice doku. Respect!

Kahn and Ronaldo were the reason for me to start watching Football in 2002
He was injured during 2002 wc final but continuing to play. a broken finger
He was the only goalkeeper that did not require a wall against Roberto Carlos freekicks that were further than 25 meters from goal.
you got my like with that subtle horror message....well done.
The lost final against Manchester United....woke up the Beast....I'm actually sad for Lothar Matthäus...he deserved that Title.
Matthäus is fine. How many players from that ManU team went on to win the World Cup? Not one.
Hitzfeld took out Lothar, right before the 2 goals happen. Biggest failure he made.
What a legend, he was not only and incredible goalkeeper, but he looked so rude and scary that he was intimidating for his rivals
Nice content.. Welldone 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I remember the match only one player in 2002 except kan, he single handedly made the way to semifinal. He was a real Hero
first ever football i watched in life was worldcup 2002 and i still remember ronaldo and khan being my fav then and my dad explaining me all positions and offside rules lmao
Lev yashin is still a goal keeping goat, he's better than any body today . Just look at the fact that Pele and garincha's Brazil could only score 2 goals past him. Bro a video on ROMARIO please

RUI COSTA NEXT PLEASE!!!
I really tried to be him when I was playing during highschool. Helped scare the opponents and keep my players in check
We won't be able to see such an titan never again.
He was one of my influences as I was a young keeper. He was a beast....
the best goal keeper that i have ever seen
a point worth mentioning: the 2002 finals, he broke one of his fingers, still decidet to play. I heard someone once say that that could be the reason he let Ronaldos first shot drop right in front of him instead of cleaning it away.
but a hero nonetheless
Great video. Kahn, Buffon, Casillas, Neuer and perhaps Van der Sar... These are or were the very best keepers imo
Yashin is the best keeper ever.
Schmeichel was better than all of them.
When Mehmet Scholl was asked what he fears the most he said: "War and Oliver Kahn."
As a 10 year old, I wanted to be a goalkeeper. And Kahn was my absolute idol.
