It was a headbutt no football fan will ever forget. In the 2006 World Cup Final, Zidane suddenly headbutted Italian midfielder Marco Materazzi in the chest. No one knew what they were talking about on the pitch and why Zidane went furious.
Zidane was sent off after this incident in the 110th minute of the game and Italy finally claimed the cup after beating France in penalty shootout.
The most common version of events was that Materazzi insulted Zidane's mother but the Italian denies that this was the case in a book about his life. "My mother died when I was 15, I would never have insulted his. "I spoke about his sister."

Remember Materuzzi was talking about Zizou's Sister not his mother, because his mother was dead when he was 15, And he thought that sister can't become a Mom. Such a duchebag

Many people believe that France lost that Final because of this moment. But this happened in the final moments of the extra time so both teams didn't want to risk anything and were holding the draw for the penalty shootout. The French players shot poor pens and lost. + the match shouldn't have reached extra time in the first place because Malouda dived to get the penalty.Italy won deservedly.

admittedly why did u talk about his sister, talk football instead, u created the scene without consequences, disrupted the beauty of play where France was reduced to 10man and u have ur day when Italy eventually win the final. what a pity to our lovely game of football where there's no room to have consider that there cannot be smoke without fire.
