We located the 2002 World Cup final ball 🤯 🇧🇷 #ESPNFC #shorts #Brazil #WorldCup ✔ Subscribe to ESPN+: espnplus.com/soccer/youtube ✔ Subscribe to ESPN FC on TH-cam: bit.ly/SUBSCRIBEtoESPNFC
Absolutely, don’t remember anyone coming close. He was very balanced, exercised authority when he needed to, but talked to the players, communicated and managed the games well enough for it flow.
The word legend gets thrown around these days ,this man is the definition of a legend,Nigerians love him they see him as goodluck charm because he officiated the Olympic final when Nigeria beat argentina to become the first african team to win Olympic gold,his imagery,aura,i remember watching him as a child thinking every decision he makes got to be the right decision,he was like perfect and could do no wrong 🤣
I don’t know if you remember but Argentina made a very racist newspaper cover calling Brazilians and Nigerians monkeys in the Olympics. Now they got beaten again by Nigeria, now inside Argentina.
Not always strict to the rules in Italy. He was the greatest because he was able to move around rules that weren't specific enough, solving problems in a unique way!
Pierluigi Collina is a legend Players were respectful of Collina. They rarely had the courage to yell and swear at him, and those who did were dealt with appropriately since he didn't stand for nonsense. And it did not matter if you were a mediocre football player or one of the best ever. Collina was unconcerned
@@dea846 well a finals ball used in the 2006 wc signed by an Italian player sold for $2.4million so I can only assume because it’s not signed but it’s worth anywhere from $500k-$1m
That picture of Oliver khan and him is a classic it should have a caption underneath… you already had a yellow card touch the ball again and it’s a red!
Whenever Messi and Ronaldo Retire, the Greatest thing ever would be a charity/exhibition match officiated by Pierluigi Collina would be amazing with an all star line up of players
when mr colina ref im 14 year old, war conflict happen here but we manage to watch word cup every night 🥺🥺 bye bye my friends tsunami hit us some of you go to heaven im still a life 🥺
I used to play football as kid and whenever amount of players is uneven, the last person (forced) will be the referee, we refer to it as Collina 😂 only when I get older I realize its just a referee. For context I grew up in a slum and definitely not in english speaking country. And for extra context, we will play football without rules, Collina decide what it'll be 😂 dam OP that position was.
I have the 2002 Champions League final ball in my bedroom. The one that Zidane scored the left footed volley with. Real Madrid v Bayer Leverkusen at Hampden Park, Glasgow.

Greatest ref ever no debate

He is a match fixer
Stupid people will debate!
I my friend... I am not stupid and I agree with you
@@blackwhite2361 Thank you for agree with me
@@amritpalsahota2681 this is not Howard Webb this is Pierluigi Collina Italian refree
Fun Fact: He is the only referee to make the cover of a football game (PES3)
shows how famous he was
And PES 4 & 5
@@jadoc3767just 4
@@Rockiees There was a PES 5 cover with Henry celebrating and his face. There was a similar one with Buffon catching a ball.
Yet he wasn't actually in the game lol
“Unfortunately Ronaldo scored 2 times” 😂😂
Twice 🙃
Bald ronaldo right?
@@anjaymabar996 R9 is the only Ronaldo the Portuguese one is Cristiano Ronaldo
@@1zbossz who talk about Messi?
@@anjaymabar996 Ronaldo = 🇧🇷. Cristiano = 🇵🇹
No player ever argued with this gentleman. Best referee in history. Un salute signor Collina
Oh players tried, he just shut them up
Yeah no. They argued. He didn't take no bs
@@parikshitgarhwal8642 How is this any different from the comment you for some reason chose to reply to?
Gaymar would have died on the field if this beast was still a referee.
Un saluto*

Kids are naive. But 95% true.
Not to mention that when the corruption ring bursted in italy he was pretty much the only one that didnt take any bribes
I don’t know if you remember but Argentina made a very racist newspaper cover calling Brazilians and Nigerians monkeys in the Olympics.
Now they got beaten again by Nigeria, now inside Argentina.
He stayed strict to the rules and went face to face with players that were angry towards him during foul calls. Truly one if the greatest refs.
He is a ref with the dedication of a top player. That equates to top, top quality
Not always strict to the rules in Italy. He was the greatest because he was able to move around rules that weren't specific enough, solving problems in a unique way!

The first football match that I've ever watched! I was 8. Beautiful memory..
nice story
I was 8 as well, but it definitely wasn't the first football match for me.
Yess my football introduction was started from this match
You are 41 now
@@ziaulhaqhamidi9505 Thats terrible math.
That match ball is worth a fortune.
Yep if they put it up for bid it would go for crazy amount
You know there are more footballs used in that final. They dont use only one ball.
@@razvan19010 Yes but they are collected by ball girls/boys. It's the ball in play when the final whistle blows that counts
He is like the former main villain everybody feared and nobody could defeat but now he's retired and isn't evil anymore.
He was never a villain. He was the incarnation of Justice. Like batman but with a whistle
@@tzitzitzitzi1584 lmao great representation
Pierluigi Collina the GOAT Referee
Whoever dares to tell him “no” can have the ball back
LEGENDARY REF WHO HAD NATURAL VAR
Greatest ref ever.
The best referee I have ever seen in my life.
If Kahn sees that ball, he surely will have some cruel nightmares
more than 1 ball was used and am sure they all disappeared by the time the players left the stadium
Ref has to give 3 red cards and he keeps the ball 🏀
God Bless Pierluigi Collina And the Interviewer
Best ref ever !!!
The only ref on a cover game 😊
My introduction to football came from this game
The best referee 👍
Best ref of all time
Man basically said "just steal that bih" 💀
That is one badass ref!!!
There will never be another ref like this legend
This dude was a straight up gangster. Showed no fear to the spoiled brats on the pitch
Best football ref ever without debate no one is better.
He might be the ref who deserves the match ball.
Gianluigi Perugia deserves his own World Cup trophy
Colina... greatest
this man is a legend
He could also take those R9 shoes and I wouldn't be surprised. Never thought any referees could make a football legend
The legend himself
Colina and Mike Dean. The two greatest to ever do it
Only ref I actually recognize / remember. So many big games, so much discipline.
That ball is worth a fortune and he just got laying on his shelves at home 😂
What's the price tag? Couple millions?
@@dea846 probably the fact that it was a World Cup final ball and that it was brazils 5th wc only ups the value
@@remdr231 can you give me an actual number?

@@remdr231 I’m from a Brazil... Somebody has this man address?
This man is a Legend. He should keep every ball even if someone scores 10 in a game.
This Ref is the Goat
Before the final whistle, the commentator in my country said that he was gonna take the ball and then he did.
We shall never get such ref to replace him❤🎉👌👌🇰🇪🇰🇪✊✊
MR. PIERLUIGI COLLINA... EVERYONE HAS TO KNOW ABOUT THIS GREAT REFEREE. TO ME THE BEST OF ALL TIMES.
That picture of Oliver khan and him is a classic it should have a caption underneath… you already had a yellow card touch the ball again and it’s a red!
He still a menace when he smiles.
I loved him on the field. 👍
Signor Collina = major respect!
