Throwback: 18 years ago Zidane scored this beauty in the Champions League final

Zinedine Zidane is known as one of the greatest midfielders ever to grace the game of football.

One of his finest moments in his playing days was in the 2002 Champions League final.

Zidane inspired Real Madrid to win their ninth Champions League title at Hampden Park, Glasgow on May 15 2002.

Raul Gonzalez put Real Madrid in front in the 8th minute but Lucio equalized for Bayern Leverkusen in the 13th minute.

Zidane would score what would be the winner in the 45th minute with an audacious left-footed effort which is now regarded as one of the best goals scored in the Champions League final.
