Zinedine Zidane has chosen. Questioned by MarkZizou was asked to vote for the best goal of his playing career. Dressed in a Real Madrid jacket and jersey underneath, the 1998 world champion with the French team did not dodge the question.
“I think my best and most important goal is the one against Leverkusen in the Champions League.Zizou simply indicated has Mark in a video published this Wednesday, September 11 by our Spanish colleagues. “Also, I was missing the Champions League. I don’t think it’s an original choice, but it’s the one that immediately comes to mind.”
A volley into the top corner
On that day, May 15, 2002, the White House playmaker had taken a cross from the left by Roberto Carlos. While the ball had risen several meters into the Scottish sky of Glasgow, Zizou then took it with an extraordinary volley of the left foot from the edge of the area to lodge it in the top corner of the German goal (45′).
An inspiration that allowed the Madrilenians to take the lead (2-1) in this final before winning their ninth Champions League afterwards, the one and only of ZZ’s entire career. A fantastic goal that has since gone down in the history of the cup with the big ears and is still considered today as one of the most beautiful goals ever scored in the European Cup.
