Here just exactely 20 years later.

This match, specifically Zidane’s headbut, is one of my earliest memories of football.

too much legends in one match

Who is here after Italy failed to qualify for World Cup three time in a row?

I remember living in Peru, sitting on the couch with my dad. I wanted France to win, my dad was going for Italy, but we were expecting a great final. After eating lunch, nothing else to do but watch the final. Those days were great and I didn't even know it. Wish I could go back to those days.

This is the first world cup final i ever watched when i was just a primary kid, it means a lot to me

Watching this match in 2024 you realise how many national heroes with amazing careers on both sides played in this game. Simply magical

It's crazy how at that time they called Buffon only as "the goalkeeper"

Wow, after 15 years, Italy wins another tournament, especially Euro, wearing the same color (blue), losing but tying the match and then winning by penalties. This is a real big change since they didn't qualify for the 2018 WC. Congratulations Azzurri from South America

12:20, what ZIDANE does is incredible, having: a full stadium, BUFFON in goal, and in the World Cup final, he shoots the PANENKA-style penalty. Master Zinedine
