5 Players Who Scored in the Final of the Champions League and World Cup

#5 Zinedine Zidane (Real Madrid / France)

Has there been a bigger player than Zinedine Zidane to turn up in the biggest games for club and country? Heck, he has even done it as a manager with three consecutive Champions League titles to his name - an unprecedented achievement in the modern era.

Although he never got far in Europe with Juventus, Real Madrid spent big on him and it paid huge dividends as he led them to a Champions League triumph in his very first season with Los Blancos.

Real had taken the lead over Bayer Leverkusen in the final before Lucio equalised. But the highlight of the final was easily Zidane's goal - a goal that would be remembered for years to come as he made sweet contact to volley a high cross into the top corner.

At the World Cup, though, Zidane was a different beast. So much so that prior to the 2017 final, Zidane had scored 60% of all first-half goals in World Cup finals between 1982 and 2014!

It was his headers in the first half of the final in 1998 that ensured France won their first-ever World Cup title in a 3-0 win. It was an inspired performance against favourites Brazil.

He would lead them to the final again in 2006 - after coming out of retirement. Everyone remembers how his career ended in disgrace when he headbutted Marco Materazzi. But few remember his goal to give France the lead when he beat Gianluigi Buffon from the spot.

But three goals in World Cup finals only cemented his legacy as one of the greatest players of his generation.
