Harald Anton "Toni" Schumacher (born 6 March 1954) is a German former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper.

Schumacher won the 1980 European Championship and reached two World Cup finals, in 1982 and 1986, being on the losing side for both.

In the 1982 FIFA World Cup semi-final, he controversially collided with and seriously injured French defender Patrick Battiston.

He backstopped Köln to the double in 1978, winning the Bundesliga title (ahead of Borussia Mönchengladbach on goal difference) and the DFB-Pokal (defeated Fortuna Düsseldorf).

In the 1986 quarter-final against tournament hosts, Mexico, he saved two of the three shootout penalties he faced, enabling West Germany to advance again.

Schumacher was involved in a collision with a French defender, substitute Patrick Battiston, in the semi-final of the 1982 World Cup.

Schumacher leapt into the air as the ball sailed past him, ultimately wide of the goal.

Schumacher has always denied any foul intention regarding the incident, saying that he was simply going for the ball, as a goalkeeper is entitled to do.

Schumacher caused more controversy after the game with his response to news that Battiston had lost two teeth: "If that's all that's wrong, tell him I'll pay for the crowns.

[10] When West Germany and France met again in World Cup 1986, Battiston said that the incident was "forgiven and forgotten".

However, he said that he was wary of getting "close to Schumacher" and said that he would hold a distance of at least 40 meters from the West German goalkeeper.
