@i.see.you.your.se: July 9, 2006, the 2006 World Cup final. Zinedine Zidane, a football legend, played his last match for France. But instead of a triumph, everyone remembered his headbutt into Marco Materazzi's chest. 110th minute, the tension goes through the roof, and suddenly — a red card. France remains in the minority, Italy wins the title in a penalty shootout. What happened? Zidane later explained: "Materazzi said words that I couldn't stand. It concerned my family— my mother, my sister. I'm not proud of what I did, but I defended my honor. Am I sorry? Yes, because of the team, because of the fans. But if I hadn't answered, I would have regretted it even more.' This moment has divided the world: some see it as a loss of control, others as humanity and pride. Zidane left the field, leaving behind not only the trophies, but also this controversial episode. A genius and a rebel all rolled into one. Do you think this blow overshadowed his greatness?
