Zidane’s Wonder Goal

Real Madrid won the European Champion’s Cup for the ninth time on Wednesday, on a goal from Zinedine Zidane that was simply amazing. Goal.com (UK version) has Zidane wonder-strike clinches Real´s ninth European Cup, which has the best coverage I could find.

“Roberto Carlos sent a speculative looping cross into the area and the French international midfielder showed wonderful balance and composure to lash an unstoppable volley into the top corner.”

I didn’t find a video, but this is pretty good. It’s a long series of still images showing the goal from different angles…almost like a video. You have to go to the article, then click the link under the first paragraph. Click ‘next photo’ to go through the pictures like a flipbook.

Update: That’s not the wonder-goal…it’s a goal versus Deportivo. That’s pretty disengenuous.

Update: This goal is really hard to find, but kavorka has found a list of video highlights and goals. He says the quality is OK, but it’s in RealVideo format.
