舒马赫事后向巴蒂斯通作了道歉,巴蒂斯通也接受了。86年世界杯时,法国队和西德队再次相遇,巴蒂斯通说这件事已经被原谅和忘却了(forgiven and forgotten),但他会和舒马赫保持至少40米的距离。。[s:37]
两人最终成了朋友(有一种说法,舒马赫还出席了巴蒂斯通的婚礼)。
Many have commented on this tackle, though goalkeepers the world over will agree that it is this single-mindedness and desire to stop the ball at all costs that places Schumacher amongst the world’s best. Germany went on to win the game on penalties.
