Britain's 35-year wait was over after Ryding received a silver medal in the men's slalom.
The two Bayern stars looked fresh at the event - just days after their 2-1 win over Freiburg as Robert Lewandowski's late striker secured all three points for Carlo Ancelotti's side.
But despite the apperance of the two footballing stars - Ryding stole the show.
The athlete, born in Lancaster, had a 0.29 second lead over Italy's Stefano Gross and a 1.02 second lead over favourite Marcel Hirscher from Austria who eventually won.
But Hirscher, who was the favourite to win gold, responded with a stunning second run which saw him move from seventh to first - leaving Ryder trailing by 0.76 seconds.
Following his triumph, Ryding said: "It is an insane feeling. After the first run I knew I had skied it clean, but couldn't believe it when I crossed the finish line.
"Between the runs I tried to keep my heart rate down and tried to forget I would be the last man down on the second run.

"After the second run I just thought to myself 'I've done it!'. Hirscher skied so well, so coming second almost felt like a victory.
"I have so much respect for all the British skiers winning World Cup points, but to have got this result is just amazing.
"Although I knew Kitzbuhel would suit me I wasn't expecting a podium this season. But I am a consistent skier and I have been in the top 15 or 10 consistently this season so maybe I shouldn't be surprised.
"This result is for my supporters, family, girlfriend, sponsors and of course my coaches. They do the work of two men and they have made this possible.
"Having a funded programme makes a huge difference and I hope this result will be a big boost for British skiing."
