Zidane ended his career with a bang. A sternum-rattling headbutt, actually. 
There’s a snide bit of symmetry to it: A World Cup final won by two Zidane headers, and a World Cup final lost after Zidane headed someone in the chest. He walked in silence past the trophy he would never hold again, down the tunnel, and into infamy. In between those career-defining moments, he played some gorgeous soccer. No one else made trapping a ball look quite so sexy. Maybe no one else ever will.
