Zidane’s shot in the Champions League is remembered in art

Zinedine Zidane’s majestic shot for Real Madrid in their 2002 Champions League final win has been captured in crystal 100 times over. It was a goal that should have won any title.

It was a stunning goal, worthy of winning any title, and now Zinedine Zidane’s majestic volley for Real Madrid in their 2002 Champions League final win has been immortalised in crystal, 100 times over

The French player who won the World Cup showed off “Zidane’s Crystal Foot,” a set of 100 crystal statuettes of his famous left foot that will be auctioned off for 40,000 euros (£35,130) each to raise money for charity.

Zidane quit as manager of Real Madrid last month after winning his third straight Champions League title. He was surprised to learn that his foot, which he used to score a goal against Bayer Leverkusen 16 years ago, was so highly regarded.

“Nothing is worth my foot. He said this at the launch in Paris on Tuesday: “Not in my view anyway.”

The jeweler Baccarat made the figures just for us. They are cut off above the ankle and put on a black stand that has Zidane’s signature carved on it.

Each has its own number between 1 and 100, and buyers can pick the one they want. Zidane won the World Cup with France that year, but the number “98” that was meant to honor that win has already been sold.

The money raised will go to the European Leukodystrophies Association (ELA), which helps families and funds study into this rare. Zidane helps a lot with the cause.
