Top 5 footballers who ruled the FIFA World Cup

Zinedine Zidane(Midfielder, France)

A sad end to a remarkable career is the truth of Zinedine Zidane.

The moment when the French captain’s was sensationally sent off for a head butt in the 100th minute of the 2006 final against the Azzuri, which was also his last game, is one that can hardly be forgotten by the football fraternity. Despite this, he had already scored the team’s opener from the spot and had already sealed his name as the Golden Ball winner for the tournament. However, his heroics in the 1998 World Cup when he scored twice in the final to lead a famous victory against the mighty Brazilians was the highlight of his career and raised his stature to the greatest French footballer to have played the game.
