About the Zinedine Zidane quiz
Zinedine Zidane is football's great artist — the languid, unbothered genius who made the game look like it was happening at his own tempo while everyone else scrambled. This free Zidane quiz runs the whole arc: the kid from La Castellane in Marseille who broke through at Cannes, the elegant playmaker who became a star at Bordeaux, the Juventus No. 21 who won back-to-back Scudetti in 1997 and 1998, and the €77.5m Galactico Real Madrid made the most expensive player on earth in 2001. He was crowned the 1998 Ballon d'Or winner and named FIFA World Player of the Year three times, in 1998, 2000 and 2003. If you can name the club Madrid signed him from for that world-record fee, this quiz is for you.
His two defining nights sit at opposite ends of the emotional spectrum. On 12 July 1998 he rose twice to head France to their first World Cup, two goals in the final against Brazil at the Stade de France that turned him into a national monument. Then, on 15 May 2002 at Hampden Park, came the goal they still show on loop: a left-footed volley on the stroke of half-time against Bayer Leverkusen to win La Novena, Madrid's ninth European Cup, later voted the greatest goal in Champions League history. And there is the other bookend — 9 July 2006, his final act as a player, the headbutt on Marco Materazzi and a red card in extra time of a World Cup final France would lose on penalties. He still won the Golden Ball as the tournament's best player.
Expect the full spread. Some questions are gentle — which country did Zidane win the 1998 World Cup with? Others reward the real students: the £46m/€77.5m Madrid transfer that stood as a world record for eight years, his 108 caps and 31 goals for France, the two Serie A titles at Juventus set against two lost Champions League finals, and his second life in the dugout, where he became the first manager to win the Champions League three times in a row with Real Madrid. As of 2026, he is out of club management and widely reported to have agreed to take charge of France after the 2026 World Cup.
