The Italian defender had constant friction with the French throughout the final match of the Cup.
One of the facts that marked Zidane’s retirement as a player was this header that he gave Marco Materazzi in the final of the World Cup in Germany.

There is no doubt, Zinedine Zidane’s header to Marco Materazzi, at the end of the world, is an event that will be recorded on the retina of football fans.
And that action had all the condiments of a scene for history: definition of a World Cup, Zidane playing his last game and a completely unusual aggression.
Precisely, Materazzi finally revealed what he said to the current Real Madrid coach that day. First, he assured that the crossing between the two began when “he was close to scoring a goal in the first extra time, Gattuso asked me to score well and he did not want to receive any more scolding.”
The shocks were repetitive until the third “I frowned, he told me that the shirt would give it to me later and I replied ‘I prefer your sister’ and what happened happened.” Evidently Zidane responded and was sent off at the 110th minute.
“I wasn’t expecting the header at the time, and I was lucky because if I had been prepared, we’d both have ended up in the locker room,” he said.
