The next season, Zidane helped Real Madrid to win the
2002–03 La Liga, starring alongside Luís Figo in mid-

for the third time.[41] In 2004, fans voted him as the best
European footballer of the previous 50 years in UEFA's
fiftieth-anniversary Golden Jubilee Poll.[5]
While Zidane’s final season of club football ended with-
out a trophy, he enjoyed success on a personal note by
scoring his first hat-trick, against Sevilla, in a 4–2 win in
January 2006.[42] He ended the season for Real Madrid
as their second highest goalscorer and assists provider
behind teammates Ronaldo and David Beckham respec-
tively, with nine goals and ten assists in 28 games.[43] On 7

abéu held up a banner reading, “Thanks for the magic.”[3]
In 2012, Zidane featured for Madrid in an All Stars
Match against Manchester United which resulted in a 3–
2 win for Real. In April 2013, he was named by Marca
as a member of the “Best foreign eleven in Real Madrid’s
history.”[45]

Both France and Algeria consider Zidane a citizen, but
he was ineligible to play for the Algerian national team.
It was rumoured that coach Abdelhamid Kermali denied
Zidane a position for the Algerian squad because he felt
the young midfielder was not fast enough.[46] However,
Zidane dismissed the rumour in a 2005 interview, say-
ing that he would have been ineligible to play for Algeria
because he had already played for France.[47]

Two years later France won Euro 2000, becoming the

first team to hold both the World Cup and the Euro-

dane finished with two goals, a memorable bending free
kick against Spain in the quarter-final and the golden goal
in the semi-final against Portugal, and was named Player

3.4 2002 World Cup

As reigning world and European champions, France en-

tered the 2002 World Cup as favourites but a thigh in-
jury prevented Zidane from playing in France’s first two
matches and without their talisman, the French team
failed to score in either match. He was rushed back pre-
maturely for the third game despite not being fully fit, but
could not prevent France from being ignominiously elim-
inated in the group stage without scoring a single goal;
the worst performance by a defending champion in the
history of the competition.[54]

Upon his return to France, the Place de la Concorde
in Paris was filled with thousands of fans waving flags
and rhythmically chanting “Zizou! Zizou!,” and trib-
utes were led by the French president Jacques Chirac.[60]
Chirac’s words reflected the feeling of the French pub-
lic, with polls done in the immediate wake of the inci-
dent showing support for Zidane: 61% of French people
said they had already forgiven him for his actions while
52% said they understood them.[60] According to French
journalist Philippe Auclair, Zidane’s performances in the
knock-out rounds were “ranked among his finest in a blue
shirt.”[60] As the player of the tournament, Zidane had
given the team hope, with the French daily newspaper
