Looks like the German goalkeeper still looms large, despite being demoted to the bench. If you’re in Germany for the World Cup, you may find yourself driving under an oversized Oliver Kahn.
This bridge is actually an outdoor ad by Adidas. It shows Kahn diving for the ball across the four-lane Munich airport highway. Measuring 65 metres in width, the gigantic figure even surpasses the wing span of a Boeing 747-400. Just the nose of the FC Bayern Munich captain is already four metres in diameter.
