What really happened to Ronaldo in the hours before the Final? And can a football heal the deep social rifts of an entire nation?
In this fifth and final episode of GoalPolitik, Giulio Incagli and Giuseppe Pastore take us to France 1998: the last World Cup of the twentieth century, the first in the era of globalization and major sponsors who began to dictate not only the transfer market but also the pitch. It was the tournament of the mysterious and dramatic intoxication of the Brazilian Phenomenon, forced to play a ghost final under pressure from brands.
But above all, it was the World Cup of "Black-Blanc-Beur" France: a multi-ethnic national team, led by Zinedine Zidane and Lilian Thuram, which became the symbol of integration by responding on the pitch to the racist attacks of Jean-Marie Le Pen's far-right. In the midst of this, global diplomatic tensions spilled onto the pitch, with the most political match of all time: the United States versus Iran.
An unforgettable tournament that leaves us with a big question: was the triumph in Paris the true beginning of a new France or just a beautiful, fleeting illusion?

Per Ronaldo è stato davvero un sliding door... sì poi ha vinto quattro anni dopo, ma la sua carriera di fatto è stata limitata da quel momento in poi, e davvero ci chiediamo tutti dove sarebbe potuto arrivare quali titoli conquistare.
