A humorous moment between two former Real Madrid teammates, Zinedine Zidane and Roberto Carlos, has brought back to mind the 1998 World Cup final, where France triumphed 3-0 over Brazil thanks to two headed goals by Zidane.
During a conversation with a journalist, Roberto Carlos recalled the Frenchman's decisive performance in that final.
Dialogue:
Roberto Carlos: " In the '98 World Cup, he scored two goals with his head ."
Journalist: “ Two goals. Both headers ? ”
Roberto Carlos: “ Yes .”
Journalist (addressed to Zidane): " How many headed goals have you scored in your career? "
Zinedine Zidane: " Only two ."
Zidane's response caused laughter among those present and quickly spread on social media, as it ironically highlighted the fact that the only headed goals in his career came in the World Cup final, in one of the most important matches in football.
The final of July 12, 1998 remains one of the most bitter memories for Brazil and one of the most glorious moments in the history of the French national team, with Zidane becoming the absolute protagonist of France's triumph at home.
