Zinedine Zidane, one of the best footballers in the history of the game, won everything there was to win in his rich playing career.
He was the world and European champion with France, won the Champions League and the Ballon d’Or, and as coach of Real Madrid, he won the strongest European football club competition, the Champions League, three times in a row.
In a recent interview, Zidane was asked what, for him, was the best game he played in his career. Many expected the answer to be the 1998 World Cup final, when he scored two goals for Brazil in the final, or the Champions League final, when he gave Real Madrid the Euro title with an extra-time goal against Leverkusen. However, his answer surprised many.
“There are many such games. There are important matches that people remember, and I have one in particular in my memory. I wasn’t at Real; I was at Juventus. In the semi-final of the Champions League against Ajax, we won 4:1 in the first game and 2:1 in the second game. The team was exceptional, and I was more than good; I played as if I was on a cloud.” Zidane revealed.
In the final of that season, Juventus was defeated by Borussia Dortmund 3:1.
