Brazil lost to France 3-0 at the 1998 FIFA World Cup final but in the 2006 edition, they lost 1-0 in the quarter finals to just one player: Zineden Zidane.

The performance of the midfield maestro on that fateful night in Frankfurt made jaws dropped and salivas in great proportion flooded out of the mouths of spectators.

Zineden Zidane made the likes of Kaka, Ronaldinho, Ze Roberto run around the midfield chasing the ball like headless chickens. 🤣🤣🤣
