Zinedine Zidane headbutted Marco Materazzi during the 2006 FIFA World Cup final after Materazzi allegedly insulted Zidane's family. This incident occurred in the extra time of the match, which ultimately led to Zidane receiving a red card and being sent off. Zidane's reaction highlighted the intense emotional pressures athletes face, particularly in high-stakes situations, and remains one of the most memorable moments in World Cup history. The headbutt illustrated how personal provocations can lead to explosive reactions, even from highly skilled professionals.
Zidane retired from football citing age as a contributing factor. This decision had nothing to do with his sending off in the 2006 FIFA World Cup Final.
No, no-one was sent off in the Champions League Final. Motta was sent off in the semi-final second leg against Barcelona, though.
In the recent soccer match, the player who was sent off the pitch was John Smith.
The two players who received red cards in two different FIFA World Cups are José Batista of Uruguay and Zinedine Zidane of France. Batista was sent off in the 1986 World Cup match against Scotland and again in the 1990 World Cup against Italy. Zidane received a red card in the 1998 World Cup final against Italy and again in the 2006 World Cup final against Italy for headbutting Marco Materazzi.
