In 2006, Zidane's incredible 'last dance'
Twenty years after the 2006 FIFA World Cup final, L'Équipe explores the dramatic match between France and Italy through a 30-video documentary. The final, held on July 9, 2006, is famously remembered for Zinedine Zidane's headbutt on Italian defender Marco Materazzi, which led to his red card in extra time. France ultimately lost the match in a penalty shootout. The multimedia feature, produced by Upian and written by Christine Thomas and Imanol Corcostegui, revisits key moments of the game and its lasting impact on football history.
