00:00When we talk about the most beautiful goals in football history, one moment always stands out.
00:05May 15, 2002, at Hampton Park, Glasgow, the UEFA Champions League final.
00:10Real Madrid vs Bayer Leverkusen.
00:13The stage was massive, the tension unshakable, and the man at the center of it all, Zinedine Zidane.
00:19The match was already filled with drama.
00:22Raul had given Madrid the lead, but Lucio quickly equalized for Leverkusen.
00:26Then came the moment that would forever etch Zidane's name into football's book of legends.
00:32Just before halftime, Roberto Carlos bombed down the left wing, sending in a looping cross that hung high in the Scottish knight.
00:40Most players would have tried to control the ball first, but not Zidane.
00:44With his weaker left foot, and with the entire stadium holding his breath, he swung with perfect timing.
00:51The volley was thunderous, slicing through the air like poetry in motion.
00:54The ball smashed into the top corner of the net.
00:58Unstoppable.
00:59Untouchable.
01:00Unforgettable.
01:01The crowd erupted.
01:03Commentators lost their voices.
01:05And even Leverkusen's goalkeeper could only watch in disbelief.
01:09That single strike wasn't just a goal, it was art.
01:12It symbolized Zidane himself.
01:14Elegance, precision, and genius.
01:17A man capable of making football look like ballet, yet as powerful as a storm.
01:21That volley secured Madrid's ninth Champions League trophy, La Novena, and gave the world one of the most iconic goals ever scored in a final.
01:30But Zidane's story isn't just about glory.
01:32Years later, he would face controversy with the infamous headbutt in the 2006 World Cup final, showing that even the greatest legends carry shadows in their brilliance.
01:42Still, when fans talk about magical goals, that left-footed volley remains a masterpiece.
01:48A goal replayed endlessly on screens, whispered about in bars, and immortalized in every greatest goals list.
01:55So here's the question.
01:57Do you think Zidane's volley against Leverkusen is the greatest goal ever scored in a Champions League final?
02:02Or do you have another favorite etched in your memory?
