Football Legends Football Edit Music France Zinedine Zidane Marco Materazzi Gianluigi Buffon Thierry Henry Lilian Thuram Hip Hop Defiance

A dark slowed-phonk anthem about the most famous last game in football. In the 2006 World Cup final in Berlin, Zinedine Zidane chipped France ahead from the penalty spot off the underside of the crossbar, saw Gianluigi Buffon tip his extra-time header over, and was sent off for headbutting Marco Materazzi. He walked past the trophy and never played again, and Italy won on penalties. Halfway through, the song turns from the headbutt to the thing that made him: the first touch. The control, the roulette, the volley in Glasgow that won Real Madrid the 2002 Champions League, and the two headers that won France the 1998 World Cup. The same head won one final and lost another.

Zidane Headbutt Song Lyrics

One game left. One World Cup final... One headbutt. Zidane lost it in the final, Berlin, the World Cup stage. Thuram and Henry beside him, so why did a genius turn to rage? 7 minutes in, Malouda goes down, and it's a penalty kick. Zidane chips it over Buffon, off the bar and in, the cheekiest trick. Materazzi heads the equalizer, Italy all square. Extra time, Zidane's header, and Buffon tips it over in the air. A word about his sister, that's Materazzi's own account. Zidane turns around, the headbutt to the chest, and Materazzi's on the ground. Red card from Elizondo, and the last game he would play. Then the penalties, and the cup goes Italy's way. Zidane headbutt, the grandest stage of all (of all). Head to the chest, and Materazzi falls. Red card, walked past the cup, his curtain call. Zizou, his last header wasn't even on the ball. Subscribe to FootyTracks on YouTube. (Oh). Rewind to prime Zidane, the ball drops, total control. Kills it on his laces, rolls it, and he's through on goal. Marseille turn, the roulette, spin, and 2 defenders gone. Outside of the boot, a pass, and the move goes on. Glasgow, 2002, Roberto Carlos hangs it in the sky. Left foot volley, top corner, and the 9th cup's lifted high. '98, 2 headers past Brazil, the final won at home. 2006, a head ended it, and he walked off alone. Now he's on the France bench, and he's facing Italy again. Headbutt or the touch, which one do you remember him for, then? And the same head won '98. Same head sealed his fate. Zidane headbutt, the grandest stage of all (of all). Head to the chest, and Materazzi falls. Red card, walked past the cup, his curtain call. But the touch never left him. Control, first touch, and the spin. Zizou, his last header wasn't even on the ball. Zizou, his last header wasn't even on the ball. Zidane headbutt, the grandest stage of all (of all). Head to the chest, and Materazzi falls. Red card, walked past the cup, his curtain call. But the touch never left him. Control, first touch, and the spin. Zizou, his last header wasn't even on the ball. Zizou, his last header wasn't even on the ball.
