Zidane talked about the “butt” he made against Italian Marco Materazzi, during the two teams’ match in the World Cup final in Germany in 2006, which caused him to be expelled from the stadium for the match, which ended with Italy’s victory over France on penalties, to crown the World Cup for the time. fourth in its history.

Zidane stressed, "I'm not proud of what I've done, but it's part of my journey. Even in a person's life, not everything goes well.
