25 - Balloon

After the debacle of 2002 in South Korea and Japan, the French team regained its form in 2006 in Germany. Having eliminated Portugal, they faced Italy for the title. Zidane's performance in this final was a rollercoaster of emotions. His majestic Panenka penalty against Buffon was overshadowed by his headbutt on Materazzi in the last match of his career. Perhaps this is the same ball that Trezeguet sent against the crossbar during the penalty shootout that gave Italy the victory.
