The Story Behind Zinedine Zidane's Shocking Headbutt | World Cup 2006 Documentary

- It started with a murmur. Marco Materazzi uttered something to Zinedine Zidane and the Frenchman snapped - violently planting his head into the Italian's chest. The referee flashed his red card and Italy won the 2006 World Cup. It's the headbutt no football fan will ever forget. Twelve years on, FFT speaks to those in the stands and in the dugout to find out the truth behind one of the World Cup's most shocking moments.

The headbutt just makes him even more of a GOAT.
More stupid.
@Ef Jr all Italians would agree I'm sure 😁
Italians are salty about this comment aren't they
@@jr5034 why would we be. The head butt is just part of a day filled with great memories.
Materazzi's highest point in his career was probably getting headbutted by Zidane.
No, I would probably say scoring the equalizer then lifting the trophy and taking his shiny winners medal home was the high point, then winning the Treble 4 years later with Inter. The headbutt was a little bonus on the side XD
Zidane shit on materazzi’s career. 4 World Cup final goal. 1 World Cup trophy. A euro cup. And champions leagues ...scoring in UCL finals. Winning different leagues, winning best player in the world more than once...
Ejaaz Ahmed lool
and where is materazzi now ? cause i can tell you where Zidane is :D hahaha
probably enjoying the shits loads of money he earned as a football player. I don't really think he cares wtf Zidane or you, or France or all football fans of the world think of him.
people say zidane was disgraced...i never got that feeling...his action shows that family is everything..
Anderson Lewis no one doubts family is everything. But defend your family like that on a field and that's what you get🤣
true...but i just never felt the disappointment the media talked about...it really doesn't feel like a blemish to me...
I'm the biggest Zidane fan out there, but it was a big let down and blemish (I wouldn't call it a disgrace either, but I don't blame people who do). You really think that in all of his career, he didn't hear all sorts of things about his family, sister, wife, etc? He's heard it all long before he ever got to that final, and Materazzi still got to him (because he insulted his family at a time when his mother wasn't doing well health-wise). There's no way a player like Materazzi should have been able to get to a player of Zidane's stature and get him out of a final of a world cup by provoking him, but Zidane has always had an issue with certain provocations. He's at least redeemed his image as one of the greatest coaches in Madrid's history.
Kronick Introvert If I also could become the coach of Real Madrid by getting disgraced. Hahahaha. Most of these morons don't know what the fuck they're talking about. Everyone around me agreed that Materazzi was a piece of shit, and totally did deserve that headbutt.
His actions shows that he is a street thug from Marseilles.
Some players have been more effective, some even arguably more skilled. But when it comes to first touch, control, and the ability to grow in important matches Zidane was second to none. Sure, the headbutt diminished his career's full potential trophy wise, but never his impact on the beautiful game. Those who were fortunate enough to follow both his club and national career know exactly what I am talking about, oh how lucky we were to see a player like Zidane! A true genius!
Despite all this 06 final nonsense , Zidane will always be a legend. Thanks for all the memories Zizu! Merci!
Renato Volpi Shut it cuzz.....
Sorry but bergkamp definitely has the best first touch
and fuck materazzi
Mesut Ramsey DENNIS BERGKAMP, DENNIS BERGKAMP, DENNIS BEEERRRGKAAAAMP!!!
It sure as hell didn't ruin his legasy. He's one of the all time greats.
*I'm a man before anything else* - Zinédine Zidane
"I am a man before anything else."
He is a street thug before anything else.
ching pong That’s rich coming from an anonymous coward.
ching pong My picture? A sailing vessel? So you’re not just an anonymous internet coward. You’re batshit crazy as well. Good luck. You’ll need it.
not a slave to money , so he helped qatar get the world cup because he believs qatar was a good choice , with stadiums not even built yet , no human rights and no football in the country
F. Valguarnera
XD i lost it
One of the lesson; family is everything
Alex 92 well look today who has the party, Zidane won major trophies as manager. Matrix?
Alex 92 doesn’t make him any less of a piece of fucking shit.
Alex 92 ahem where is Italy? I dont see them. XD
Only mistake he made was not aiming for his nose.
Farhan Qadri where was france in the euros haha losers.
I remember that night. What a game. What a night. This is truly the greatest game on earth. Viva futbol.
Im from Algeria, Zidane's motherland and i confirm that family insults are never forgiven or forgotten, no matter what the context is
The real Tom Hardy Zidane is obviously one of the all time greats but if you react like that every time someone talks shit to you the whole world would be in prison
He was actually born and raised in France, so that makes him more a french than algerian.
well looks like that 0,009% of Algerian blood got the better of him at a defining career moment
The real Tom Hardy Can tell he valued algeria much.. why did he not play for them? Cause for him france is more important and in his blood than algeria. All these nonsense about whats in your vain, its always been progression and more important what your brain wants. A french man would have defended his family just as much.
blomgren182 who's talking about value here? fuck his preferences im talking about genetic reactivity, and dont come teaching me no diversity science about how a french guy would react i've lived 5 years in France
And in the end, Zidane will always be remembered as a an absolute legend that graced the pitch, whereas Materazzi will remain an absolutely nobody.
sedayeguitar a nobody who scored against France and won a world cup
Zidane will always be loved by the whole world, the other piece of shit will only be a hero to Italians such as yourself. gtfoh
I never said he was a hero and the fact that he was talking shit isn't right, but I'm just saying u don't have to be salty and call him a nobody because at least he won a world cup, and even if France would have won the cup, Italy would still have more cups, and a better history than France ever will so stfu
Been shit ever since so meh. You didn't even make the WC
Lol u shouldn't talk, France got 2nd place in their own country in euros and still have only 1 world cup. France will never even be close to comparing to Italy. Sure they did bad not qualifying but at least they qualified for 60 years in a row and still have 4 cups, and as I said before, even if France would've won 2006 Italy still would've had more world cups, so next time u wanna talk shit about Italy learn your facts bitch.
It was all about Zidane, not just Italy - France but the way he want to end his career was a slap in the face, 2006 should have been his significant tournament, both Cannavaro and Zidane made world cup 2006
That's on somebody who couldn't even play against a great say that off the pitch and believe Zidane would have been in Jail !
Zidane put family above the cup. He’s the man.
I'm sure his sister would have died on the spot in Zidane had not acted like a violent maniac. Do you hear yourself? Do you realize how ridiculous you sound?
A man but he lost his balls,he lost his head,he lost the World Cup.
@@f.valguarnera1486 respect is something that Zidane earned 10 fold. In 100 years people will be talking about him in reverence. Materazzi will only be remembered as the man who got headbutted. What a disgrace he is and to Italy that has so much class it's hard to believe Materazzi is Italian
@@kennymichaelalanya7134 I am not disputing Zidane's talent. In the 2006 final, however, he acted like a hot-headed clown. His behaviour cannot be justified.
Stupid man headbutt
Save yourself 14 minutes, the only interesting bit is after 13:36.
So nothing about whether Zidane dislocated his shoulder earlier in the match?
marahopey top man
marahopey h
Damn, why is this comment so hidden.
Could have saved 10 minutes 😑
marahopey v
We will forever remember materrazzi for his words and Zizou for his genius.
Hi everyone! Thank you for clicking on this video. We just want to let you know this film has been fully subtitled in English. The subtitles should come on automatically, but if they don't you just have to turn them on.
This link should help explain how: support.google.com/youtube/answer/100078?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&hl=en
I don't think this Should Impact anyone's opinion of How much of a Legend he is. You rarely fell joy as good as watching him play.
This made Zidane more likeable actually, he is a man of honour and made me respect him more
Widely regarded as one of the most gifted players to ever grace the green rectangle, Zidane was the “beautiful” in the “beautiful game.” He consistently delivered breathtaking football when others would fall flat or win ugly, but it was not just Zidane the icon that received the adoration of millions, but Zidane the man, with his humanity and his weaknesses.
the most beautiful penalty shootout of all time... 4 stars :)
Just true just awesome
Zidane you re the king no matter what.
More like a kingpin.
F. Valguarnera he is a dick
He's a thug
zidane is the man, that world cup dont deserve him
Who's career is damaged now? Zidane is sitting on top of the world leading Real Madrid to multiple Champions League titles. Materazzi is nowhere! In the middle of a match, to speak ill of women of someone's family is cowardness and shameful. Zidane or any proper man would avenge for this.
Materazzi is considered one of the most representative players of FC Inter by their supporters. He won the WC 2006 with Italy (scoring in the final match), multiple Serie A titles in the next years and the CL 2009-10. As much as I don't like Materazzi (and Inter), he is not an unknown and I don't think there is any connection between this episode and the manager career of Zidane (how could it be? lol). I don't remember people like Baresi, Maldini, Del Piero, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Gerrard, Messi, Raul throwing headbutt to their opponents for an insult. So Zizou will always be one of the greatest, but he ended his last match the most humiliating ad shameful way possible.
@@sosachannel2125 so ? for Italiens thats the case but for the world of football its the Guy Who got headbuded by Zidane.
@@paulfienga9466 I'm not even Italian and I agree by the fact that Zidane went out of his ways to do something that immature shows how little he matured, if someone is trash talking just ignore them and maybe Zidane could of stayed on the pitch and probably win against Italy.
@@paulfienga9466 only for people who don't follow football. Materazzi is very well known and was a very charismatic and well known cb. And I am an ac milan supporter
AA RC he deserves it either way.
Zidane is the most amazing football player I’ve ever seen! I still remember feeling so gutted after the red card...This incident shouldn’t have happened and Zidane deserved that trophy! One of the most historic incidents of the game for sure
Its sad that a legend like zidane cant get his head togheter in such a important (and his last) game.
This was a headbut against all of france.
Was that pun intended or not?
i see what u did there lol
I've always hated Materazzi, but in this situation he was a genius.
Zidane,Algerian blood!!
My all time fav superhero Z.Zidane. the day when i saw the zidane game when i was a small kid in boarding school. He love his simplicity with extraordinary skills . He will be my best superstar still n always. Love u Zidane
Materazzi was a good defender, he even scored the equalizer goal for us in the final vs France :D
Even Zidane's headbutt was as beautiful as many of his footbal actions.
My all-time football greats:
1. Pele
2. Zidane
3. Maradona
4. Ronaldinho
5. Messi
There are more but these are my top 5.
David Tobrise you forgot number 1 materazzi
Only player who started his carrier on foot but ended on headbutt. There is only one like him who have won all the major tournaments including 3 years in row champions league as coach of Real Madrid. He is a master of football!!!!
He played as a true legend and he ended career as a true man!
i was so upset but still Zidane is my hero
nafis fuad he would have missed his penalty so italy 5 france 3 that's ok i guess
i have a sister and i feel it
Materazzi will remain unknown in the history (for his football skills, of course his dirt will be remembered..) while Zidane will be a hero that inspires generations to come.
Emre Yamangil Unknown? Not one of the most technical defenders but Materazzi lead Italy to a World Cup title! He scored during the final twice, a great header and a super cold penalty! Only a very good player can do that!
I'm and AC Milan fan, so I don't like him, but he is not unknown at all. He is one of the most representative players of FC Inter after Zanetti.
Zidane is a three time champions league winning coach. Who cares about that Italian guy anymore. Karma pays back in interest. It’s bad when there are bad leaders, the followers will do bad things. Zidane is a champ.
And still Dani Alves, three times CL winner, said that he would trade them all for a World Cup triumph
I wish the volume was "normalised". I have to turn it up for the French. I have to turn it down for the Italian. There's a function in every audio editor and video editor called "normalise". This makes the volume congruent throughout.
Zizou rules.
Materazzi is a vile and low piece of a person that deserved what he got. In real ife, you should always be accountable for your actions. No matter the situation.
Zidane 🇫🇷💥 🏆
Zidane scored the 1:0 and Materazzi the 1:1
Zidane headbutted
Zidane won Champions League 4 years ago with Real Madrid and scored the winners as WC title defender and played for Real Madrid during the Final
Materazzi won Champions league 4 years later with Inter Milan and was substituted by the winner scorers Diego Milito as WC title defender and played for Inter Milan during the final
This conincidence is unbelievable
2002, 2006, 2010
france in the final was because of zidane in the first place...so if he werent there france would not even sniff the semis
Barthez, Thuram, Vieira, Makélélé, Ribéry, Henry, Trezeguet... This team was better than the 1998 team, even without Zizou.
trezeguet, lel, btw thanks trezeguet, greets from italy
Remember 1998? Thanks Trezeguet indeed! Remember 2000? Thanks Trezeguet again!
yeah ur right. forgot that :) now im angry xD
Darah Biru France will be great again, I'm sure you've watched that in the Euro2016
The first VAR intervention in a match, unofficially of course😮
Zidane might not be able to win world cup for his country but he won hearts...
Family is everything. Especially mother and sister.
Materazzi offended Zidanes sister in an awful ,awful way.That was the last straw for Z.
Nice video!
Zidane is an absolute legend when it comes to handling the ball, but to me all time greats are players who can keep their cool during high pressure games even if the opposition tries to insult or start fights with them.
Zidane🏆 didn't need to forget Materazzi's insult just wait until the end of the match before killing the bast**d. As they say in Italy, revenge is a dish best served cold.
After that the italian football was in the dark ages up to today..well deserved.
It's not like France had a great run until WC 2014. They got kicked out of Euro 2008 by Italy, they qualified to WC 2010 cheating against Ireland and the performed miserably in both WC 2010 and Euro 2012 (where Italy was runner-up).
Always a hero!
Zidane the king very inspiring the humble man
Zidane 🥇🏆
Interesting video.
And you realise Italy won't ever qualify for WC after 2014 lol.
It's coming Rome
She won the European cup in 2021 lol!
Materazzi is an icon
Now France have won the world cup 2018 and Italy didn't even qualify 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂...
Subham Guha we still have 4 while you French peppers only have two
You're not even french, does India or whatever your country is, won a world cup ?
Subham Guha fuck Italy, they are stupid racist
Nhilzer but are you Italian!!!?
sebastian bonface and how is Italy racist is it because we want to preserve our culture and not want thousands of migrants from Africa destroying our country
The media always try to drive an agenda against Zizou for that headbutt claiming that it tarnished his legacy...absolute bollocks! Zidane's legacy was is and is still intact. Materazzi was a weasel and deserved to be headbutt and much more...💯
What ever he did he will remain a legend vive zizou
Rumours from Turin persisted and Materazzi repeated what Lippi told him, nothing about a sister or mother, it was his wife who was mentioned.
Zizou: "I'm a man before anything else"
Does anyone know the the names of the songs in this video? And this will be a World Cup classic for ever.
I remember watching this final in a bar in Greece
After watching that final , my mother didn't watch a football game for 8 years.Quite a powerful moment.
are you french?
allen.akuma66 No
Iconic
What is the song right at the beginning, with the female singer? It also plays at the end! Anybody knows?
What software makes these animations?
Increíble el vídeo
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 sums it up. He's a man before anything else. Something Materazzi would not understand.
4:59 what is that songs name in the background
Zidane's reaction was animal, but in fact, his headbutt was the most human thing the world have watched on a football pitch. Forget their players career, just look at what kind of man have become Zidane and Materazzi : Zidane has built a great family, created dozens of charities, became Real Madrid manager and won 3 Champions League.... Materazzi only achievement was to monetize his provocation through goodies, books and silly tv ads. 2 men, 2 different ethics
You're really saying the most human reaction to an insult is a headbutt?
It was because of this incident that matarazzi became popular, he absolutely no body, no sportsmanship and not good at football.
Respect for zidane
A Nobody who won multiple Serie A, the World Cup and the UEFA Champions League.
Alfredo di Nuzzo I’m pretty sure he played by himself, 1 vs 11 players on the field every match.
Vianditya Pujiani I agree ZZ is on total different level (legend), but a lot of football player can only dream of being a nobody like Materazzi, with his trophies.
Materazzi won the 2010 Champions League the way Kaka won the 2002 World Cup. Glued to the bench.
You probably don't know football very well.
Can anyone tell me the name of the song playing in the very beginning? It's so beautiful
if only all players were like him then maybe i would watch football
9 luglio 2006, coppa in faccia
There's a 15 minute video about this? Good grief.
R.eese.2D2
Media love to spread hate and problems ... more views more attention more ads more money
It’s business at the end
Use Ad-Block = Zero money for them :D
wonder why Italy didn't qualify this time
france is going to win this
world cup watch i will remind all of you
Nah it’s between Germany and Spain but France still has the caliber of making it to the semifinals
One month later: France doesn't get all nine points from an "easy group".
+ArcangeloSports NOS come again?
+ArcangeloSports NOS what's that again?
Oh please, France aint winning anything this year, forget about the World Cup
Materazzi was locking Zidane up, Zidane started trash talking, Materazzi returned the favor and then Zidane lost his head into Materazzi’s chest.
A beast is a beast. Doesn't matter how costly his fur is.
2 champions leagues later, here we are.
I don't necessarily approve his reaction but we can't judge. Its not something unheard of, we see worse in everyday life, we hear about people being shot over silly ego arguments, it happens everywhere in the world all the time. He lost control in one moment, he's just a human being after all.
Yeah but insulting, whether you like it or not, is part of the game
Zidane's greatness doesn't stop as a legend on the pitch.
Remember that he already won back to back ucl as madrid's manager, and currently on route to be the first manager ever to win three in a row.
Although he didn't lift the world cup that year, this man is still destined for many other greatness.
Meanwhile, materazzi who...?
The way i see it, materazzi is the one who ended his career poorly. people will remember him forever as a racist who manages to provoked one of the most humble footballer of his time.
Racist for what?

Could argue the headbut have him more notoriety than if he won it
Yeah. Being caught evens it out quite a bit.
Aaand Materazzi can never be an unknown now,You can't talk about the legend Zidane without mentioning the headbutt,you mention the headbutt then you are gonna have to mention the headbuttee and eventual World Cup Winner that year... Legend or not
World Cup medals:
Zidane 1,
Materazzi 1.
After this incident verbal abuse on the pitch should ave been considered a fault and a penalty mandatory.
I never felt Zidane's Red card caused the loss. Buffon played fantastic in goal for Italy. It came to PK's, and they lost in PK's. Trezeguet hit the post. Game over --
Just awesome just true
Buffon the best goalkeeper ever in the football history
At the end of the video, the guy says it ruined Zidane's career, really? I don't know if French abused him for that headbutt, but for sure I know he is their most beloved till today and to the rest of the world. We all know where Zidane is today. Materazzi, I don't even remember the guy's name until I saw this video, hope his Pizzeria is doing well in Venice.
Is there an English version of this?
Sadly, when people remember Zidane the thing that comes to mind will always be Zinedine Zidane's Headbutt and not his footballer skills.
NYC Apple Pie zizou is a legend and no one can dénie that
because French military in the colonies were all mercenaries. and the mercenary has never been a man of honor. instead of facing the soldier in hand-to-hand combat. they attack women and their kids. do not compare the real soldier of honor and a vulgar mercenary ...
As so many footballers said after the match if l reacted every time someone said something about my family I would never had played a minute please have thick skin and get on with it. Im sure someone like gattuso or roy keane were told many things but just got on with it and played cheers zidane. as for materazzi will always be loved by the tifosi
Mattiah Mook well said.
I *never* understood why the legend (knowing he would also get sent off and leave France floundering) would head butt the guys chest.
Aim for the nose and do it properly!
Whatsoever he is a Legend 🇫🇷
I don't care what he said, you let your entire team down with that selfish act. He could have won it all for his country if he just sucked it up and became the bigger person and walked away. Instead he acted like a child, lost the world cup for his country, his team, his fans, and ended his career with disgrace. Such a shame for such a great player. if only he would have actually thought before he acted.
If I was in Zidane's place then I would have done the same thing that was a normal reaction
No
Third time you snap👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
He couldn't keep with the pressure, he felt France would lose and snapped. End of story. P.S. Zidane once said that during a match he felt in advance when and how he would score, and that actually happened.
Bruhh this shit iconic😂😂 imagine if this sit were to happen now a days with social media and shit😂😂 definitely the highlight of the World Cup with ppl making memes out of it and making it go viral. “Would u head butt ur bestfriend for 5,000,000 milli.......” and just show the iconic picture😂😂
Materazzi may have the medal, but he will never be remembered as a true great like Zidane. Materazzi, Chiellini, Pepe, Ramos, etc the players who will do ANYTHING to win are not the giants of football who make us love this game, they are the people who do everything to stop these guys playing, whether by foul means or fair. Mostly foul.
one thing missing: 'the story behind the headbutt'.
Hulk hogan approves of this headbutt!
