2. Zidane's Headbutt In The 2006 World Cup Final

In one of the most infamous moments in World Cup history, France captain Zinedine Zidane rammed his head into Marco Materazzi's chest during the 2006 World Cup final in Berlin. Referee Horacio Elizondo was informed of the incident by the fourth official, after missing the incident, and showed Zidane a red card. It was claimed months later that Materazzi had insulted Zidane's sister before the headbutt, but the sending-off proved to be the final chapter in Zidane's glittering career for France. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvNkkdfNwEg
