It marked the 14th overall expulsion of Zidane's career, and meant he joined Cameroon's Rigobert Song as the only players ever to be sent off during two separate World Cup tournaments. He also became the fourth player red-carded in a World Cup final, in addition to being the first sent off in extra time.
In his defence. He will always be remembered for THAT final, he will be remembered more for this than 2 world cups. No-one remembers Materazzi except when this is brought up.
@@marvinsilverman4394 fuck it, the man walks past the World Cup trophy, which actually he has won in '98 and maybe realized that there are other things that worth much more for him.
Made him even more of a legend to bow out in a world cup final after he scored an absolute perfect panenka, then thinks screw it I'm headbutting someone as a last hurrah what a guy 👏👏👏👏
People saying Materazzi is only known for this moment, have no idea how good he actually was. He was one of the greatest center backs of his generation, he won literally everything, including that Inter treble, and also scored a lot of goals for a center back.
That's true but it still doesn't changes the fact that twice the amount of people who know him for those achievements dwarf in front of half of those which know him as zidane victim / verbal abuser / scumbag.
He left the fame because of his family, religion dignity. Put yourself in his place if you really respect your family and religion. That stupid deserved that. I love and respect his action Zidane 😍😍😍
Iit was all about family , IT HAVE nothing to do with religion , don't try to bring u'r religion here ,,if you speak french ,zidane already said once in a national french television that he wasn't religious
Anybody that plays soccer knows there are those types of lowlife players who provoke and have no respect. Judging from his pitiful response and confession it sounds like Materazzi is one of those. If he had any class at all he would at least apologize for causing the incident. When you're playing soccer there are those guys that will just bug, pull your shirt when waiting for corners, sneak little elbows and talk sh-t. I can empathize with Zidane because these guys get under your skin and they normally always get away with it. The only thing that's too bad is considering the timing of the incident. He probably should of let this one go. Another thing to consider is how pathetic some of the players have gotten in recent years. The 2018 World Cup is on right now and in almost every game you have players taking dives and feigning injuries to draw cards. There just seems like there is little class anymore. Did Zidane show class when he did the headbutt? Not exactly, but at least he didn't jump on the ground and start rolling around like an idiot pretending to be hurt so he could get another player kicked out of the game.
Materazzi was known to be a jerk on the football field. And saying bad things about another perosns mom or sister is idiotic. so yes, Materazzi deserved the headbutt. I'm glad Italy won, but Zidane may have lost it for his country.
If you look at the final in 2000 between these two you have to admit these two teams were in a far better place then and so was football in 2000 , a far better range of quality with less hype and less money . I’m embarrassed by football and footballers like Neymar and c Ronaldo these days
No emotional intelligence. When he could have just let this go, keep playing as he was and likely win the World Cup, THEN go to Materazzi’s face and laugh out loud
When the World Cup is at stake, u can’t simply be that stupid. As defender I like to go under the skin of opponents players, specially when they are good players. When they are good psych them out. It works most of the time.
Uh, both their root causes are zidane being a legendary footballer so.. it doesn't rly changes anything. Had any other French player, like a random substitute, did it then this wouldn't be as big of a deal as it is now.
I really can't understand all this hatred for materazzi, zidane said that if he wanted he could have his shirt after the game and he replied I'd prefer your sister. Ok we can spend hours talking about how much this is a bad taste answer, etc. but let's not forget that we are at A WORLD FINAL and that it is obvious and right that there is hatred and competition between the players and that Materazzi's response is not like that " absurd "indeed it is quite understandable and to tell the truth (at least in my opinion) it was zidane who was absolutely wrong by responding to an offense with violence (which as we later saw did not lead to anything good). however, during an interview with Materazzi 6/8 months ago they talked a little about what happened and asked him if he had met Zidane again after the incident, he said that he had seen him maybe 1/2 times but without having us never really talked about it and then added that anyway if he saw him now he would just compliment him on the fantastic player he was and the fantastic coach he is right now
‘Zidane’s career ends in disgrace’ are you fucking serious his career ends in not the best way but good enough to send france to the final he will always be remembered for his talent wished I saw him play but didn’t he may have did that but he was the person who I only knew had an amazing career but didn’t know it was that good I never knew about matterrazi until this but I don’t care at all Zidane is one of the greatest this never changes everything this only adds one history that he would want to forget
An aging Italian team on its last legs and a French team even older who came out of retirement , both teams there in the final because of the lack of attacking, zidane dragging France to the final with penalties etc and Italy spurred on by the Italian scandal at home who despite a great performance in the quarter and semi albeit diving their way to a second round victory over Australia were poor in the final , a very poor World Cup only remembered for good German organization and zidane s walk of shame.
>walk of shame.
Are you kidding me? The dude left with a bang.
Ends in disgrace? You joker! Ends as a legend!
@paul zane well... A statue has been erected of that very legendary scene.
Yeh disgrace, he should have controlled himself cost his nation a World Cup

@@ecapa0020 blah, blah and so on. What you don't realise is that nhe sacrificed everything for his family's honour! A legend.

materazzi remembered as champion of the world 2006

I respect him for what he did....
Salute 🫡
Zidane's reaction to Matarezzi's comment about his family is better than winning 100 World cups
Made him even more of a legend to bow out in a world cup final after he scored an absolute perfect panenka, then thinks screw it I'm headbutting someone as a last hurrah what a guy 👏👏👏👏
Horrific example for any youngsters watching.
Zidan is a LEGEND ❤
Respect for standed for his family.
You can't blame him.Materazzi made fun of his family
You can blame him. He’s not the first to be wound up, he should know better.
at those levels your entire family up to 300 b.c. is a target.
the thing is simple PROFESSIONAL or not.
Mother is above everything
, at that moment, but its still close family.
Zidane set an example of the way a real man should behave. A good role model in the age of fake narratives and hypocrisy.
Funny how Materazzi and Zidane are the two who scored.
People saying Materazzi is only known for this moment, have no idea how good he actually was. He was one of the greatest center backs of his generation, he won literally everything, including that Inter treble, and also scored a lot of goals for a center back.
Everyone knows him as the guy who got headbutted by Zidane lol
That's true but it still doesn't changes the fact that twice the amount of people who know him for those achievements dwarf in front of half of those which know him as zidane victim / verbal abuser / scumbag.
It doesn't matter zidane is still the greatest
gangsta shit right there.
Lets be honest, who actually remembers Materazzi anyway. We all cheered when zidane put him on the floor
We all cheered, especially the Italians who won the cup thanks to his absolute lack of self control
He was man enough to do the right thing at the biggest stage of the world!
*stupidest thing
Yasser Y he helped Italy win the World Cup in doing what he did
Moritz `ACE` Rungger *revenge thing
What get sent off and let his team mates down?
It wasnt the right thing...
He left the fame because of his family, religion dignity. Put yourself in his place if you really respect your family and religion. That stupid deserved that. I love and respect his action Zidane 😍😍😍

He let himself and France down on that day.

Well said !
Pride comes before everything.
zidane will be remembered as football legend and materazzi will be remembered as that dude who got headbutted .
Materazzi made the mistake but got away with it.
Zidane didn’t he ended his career in some fashion.
I’ve never seen a better head butt
After the World Cup my coworkers were headbutting each other at every little verbal dispute 😅
Never mess with mother
Are you kidding ,walk of shame it was legendary
I frm India..Love you always zidane sir
it was total materazzi's mistake
Are you kidding me? His emotions totally controlled him! Small person Zidane
Exquisite Headbutt
Legend!
Zidane origin =ALGÉRIA 🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿💪💪
0.44 cool guy ever seen in football.
3.00 coolest ever guy seen in football.
French goal scorer headbutts Italian goal scorer!
I would have done the same thing. 10 years later
I NO the Algerian people Got hot blod
If someone insult your mother & sister what will you do as a human
It's a words vs. physical violence situation. You can't justify violence, specially at that level of professionalism.
If you are not a french person you can not understand.
Boy deserved it.
Zidane is the perfect player
Materazzi was known to be a jerk on the football field. And saying bad things about another perosns mom or sister is idiotic. so yes, Materazzi deserved the headbutt. I'm glad Italy won, but Zidane may have lost it for his country.

"The Zidane headbutt won Italy the World Cup " rubbish nonsense, Italy were the best team in that World Cup and thoroughly deseved to win it. 🇮🇹🏆⚽
Wtf ?? He became immortal , he is the man .. zidane is the man !
For all the wrong reasons
No emotional intelligence. When he could have just let this go, keep playing as he was and likely win the World Cup, THEN go to Materazzi’s face and laugh out loud

One word.. Integrity
If you don’t have dignity or respect to your family, I would understand it!!
Ridateci la nostra Gioconda!!!!
The smashing pumpkins
SMARMY TOFFS UTD
It was a shocking moment. Zidane will be more known now for the headbutt rather than France winning to France 98

Dislike for being soft not showing the actual headbutt.
Materazzi should of shut his mouth
They wouldn't show a flop...... Lol
