In the 2002 Champions League final, Zinedine Zidane scored a magnificent volley against Leverkusen, which is considered to be the greatest goal in the history of the Champions League.
On 15 May 2002, Real Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen played out the Champions League final at Scotland's Hampden Park. The game belonged to Zidane. On the stroke of half-time, the France international produced a moment that would be remembered for years to come.
An attack down the left saw left-back Roberto Carlos manage to send in a lofted ball for Zidane on the edge of the area. Your average player would have tried to touch the ball down, but average is not a word that comes in the same sentence as Zinedine Zidane.
The Los Blancos talisman swivelled his body shape and left fly with a stunning left-footed volley that rippled into the net. Butt in the Leverkusen goal was at fault for the opener but there was nothing he could do to deny Zidane in this instance. The technique is just exceptional.
It was a goal we've all attempted to score on the school playground, but there was no way anyone could come up with the graceful technique that Zizou displayed.
The goal proved to be the difference between the two sides, and ultimately handed Madrid their ninth European Cup, a trophy they would not lift again until 12 years later under Carlo Ancelotti - before Zidane himself stepped into the management seat himself and won the most decorated prize in club football.

no zidane was left-footed
actually he has majority of his goals were left footed but he uses his right foot for dribbling,passing and set pieces... its like he has a 5 star weak foot but a 6 star dominant foot

No way. There are many more beautiful goals than Ronaldo's bicycle kick. Zidane's goal is the greatest.
