He aimed far too high.
Pop ‘Zidane’ into Google and ‘headbutt’ follows.
That is an awful shame, for the man brought us so many sumptuous footballing memories.
The former France and Real Madrid midfielder received a red card in the 2006 World Cup final defeat to Italy. It was, unfortunately, his last act for his country.
Zidane is now coaching Real’s ‘B’ team, Castilla, and has been linked to the head job if Rafa Benitez does not last the season.
His son, Luca, plays in goal for Los Blancos’ U19 side and looks like he could be a chip off the old block.
Amid a fracas in Real’s 4-2 win over local rivals Atletico, Luca Zidane rushed from his goal-mouth to get involved.
He went head to head with an Atletico defender and was too forceful with it. It was not quite like his father’s headbutt to Marco Materazzi’s chest but both had the same end result.
Luca received his marching orders but his team held out for the win.
