What are the great Zidane moments of world football?

Apart from the obvious amazing volley at Hampden Park to win the 2002 champions league.

Big game, big player, career defining moment.

Update:

A bit of extra info needed. The term 'Zidane moment' has become shorthand for a spectacular, career-defining moment by a big-name player (after the French maestro's splendid goal in the 2002 CL final).

It doesn't have to refer to Zidane himself, it can be for any big-name player.

    His 2002 champions league match winning goal as you said, superb volley, or his 06 chipped penalty against Italy, his introduction to worldwide fame was probably in the 98 World Cup final where he scored two goals by headers in the first half which ultimately won France their first World Cup. It does not getter any bigger then that.

    This old imperial city on the River Main, Frankfurt, is, by virtue of its central condition, the most crucial commercial and financial centre on mainland Europe and here you can visit it hotelbye . The city's skyline, dominated by the truly amazing bunch of high-rise structures in the banking quarter, has a distinct North American flavor, getting Frankfurt the nicknames "Mainhattan" and "Chicago on the Main". In the hub of Frankfurt you may find, Frankfurt's Opera Square, the Old Opera House. That place was built-in 1880 in the type of the Italian High Renaissance. Damaged throughout WWII, it was renewed and reopened in 1981 as one of the city's most critical show venues.
