<p>Paul the celebrated octopus has finally got his tentacles wrapped around a soccer ball.</p>
<p>The Sea Life aquarium in Oberhausen, Germany, unveiled an outsized memorial to the World Cup&#8217;s late and most unlikely star &#8211; A 6ft 6in tall plastic replica of Paul clutching a ball in his eight arms.</p>
<p>Aquarium spokeswoman Tanja Munzig says Paul&#8217;s cremated ashes were placed in a gold-leaf-covered urn inside the ball.</p>
<p>Paul died three months ago and Munzig says fans around the world had asked for a memorial.</p>
<p>Paul correctly tipped the outcome of all seven of Germany&#8217;s games at last year&#8217;s World Cup plus the Spain-Netherlands final.</p>
<p>He made his predictions by opening the lid of one of two boxes, each containing a mussel and bearing a team flag.</p>
