In his last professional match, Zinedine Zidane turned around in the 110th minute and headbutted an opposing player in the chest. The violent outburst resulted in a red card for the Frenchmen. For the last ten minutes of the match, France played a man down and somehow held Italy scoreless, forcing a shootout.

Italy won the shootout and the World Cup. Zidane ended his career in disgrace. France hasn’t returned to the World Cup Final since. Zidane turned his attention to coaching and won the 2018 Champions League Cup with Real Madrid. He resigned after the title win.
