Zinedine Zidane (France)
Marco Matreratzi said some unprintable things about Zidane mother and sister. So he headbutted him.
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.
No, no-one was sent off in the Champions League Final. Motta was sent off in the semi-final second leg against Barcelona, though.
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.
In the recent soccer match, the player who was sent off the pitch was John Smith.

If one team gets 5 players sent off the match is ended. 3-0 victory is awarded to the other team.
He wasn't sent off.
In the 1990 world cup final between Argentina and West Germany, played in Italy the Argentinean Marco Simone was sent of, Dezotti followed. So this was the first two players that were sent of since 1930.
It was Paulinho for Brazil..He got a red card when his team mate Henrique passed the ball to him but the referee got in the way accidently and made him lose the ball to the opposition in that he pushed the referee and sweared at him which got him sent off and a 10 match ban. He retired 7 years later
