REVEALED: What made Zinedine Zidane headbutt Marco Materazzi at 2006 World cup


Marco Materazzi has finally revealed what he said to get a headbutt at the Zinedine Zidane in the 2006 World Cup final .


Italy won the trophy after Zidane was sent off for the headbutt and that inevitably ended his career.

The now Real Madrid coach turned around and headbutted Materazzi after the Italian defender provoked him with inflammatory words.

Media reports suggested Materazzi had insulted Zidane’s mother, but the 42-year-old insists that was not the case.

“What I said was stupid,” Materazzi said. “But it didn’t deserve that reaction.

“You would hear stronger words said on the streets of Naples, or Milan, or Paris, much more serious things.

“My mother died when I was 15, so I would never have insulted his.

“I spoke about his sister.”
