Background
Italy's first official match as a national team was against France on 15 May 1910,
The match was the sixth FIFA World Cup final for Italy, and the second for France.[19] Italy had won three of their previous finals (1934, 1938, 1982), losing two (1970, 1994), while France had won their only previous final (1998).[19] It was the first final since 1978 in which neither Germany nor Brazil competed (and only the second since 1938); it was also the first all-European final since Italy won the World Cup in 1982, and the second final to be decided by a penalty shoot-out (1994 was the first, with Italy losing to Brazil on that occasion).[19]
In April 2006, France's Zinedine Zidane, who also played for Spanish league side Real Madrid, announced his retirement from football, saying his playing career would end after the World Cup.[20] In May 2006, a match-fixing scandal in Italy's Serie A league was uncovered, mainly surrounding Juventus,[21] a team to which five of the national squad players belonged.[22]

Pre-match
The official match ball for the final was the + Teamgeist Berlin, a gold-coloured variation of the Adidas Teamgeist, which was unveiled on 18 April 2006.[41] The Adidas Teamgeist was used as the official match ball throughout the tournament, provided by German sports equipment company Adidas.[41]
On 6 July 2006, the Argentine
Italy's team doctor Enrico Castellacci confirmed on 6 July that Alessandro Nesta was ruled out of the final due to a groin injury he sustained against the Czech Republic on 22 June; France reported no injuries.[46][47]
Before the match started, a closing ceremony was organised by FIFA, lasting about 10 minutes, was performed by Il Divo singing their song "The Time of Our Lives", the official song of the 2006 FIFA World Cup, as well as Shakira and Wyclef Jean singing a rendition of their song "Hips Don't Lie".[48][49]
Match
Summary
The final started with each side scoring within the first 20 minutes, making it the only World Cup final from 1990 to 2014 in which both finalists scored. Referee Elizondo awarded a penalty kick when he deemed Florent Malouda to have been fouled by Marco Materazzi.[50] Zinedine Zidane opened the scoring when he converted this kick in the 7th minute with a Panenka that glanced off the underside of the crossbar and into the goal.[51][52] Materazzi redeemed himself for Italy when he levelled the score in the 19th minute, a header from an Andrea Pirlo corner.[53] In the 35th minute, Luca Toni struck the crossbar with a header from another Pirlo corner.[53] At half time, the score was level at 1–1.
The beginning of the second half was largely controlled by France,[53] also seeking a penalty early on when Malouda went to ground in the box after a tackle by Gianluca Zambrotta.[54] Patrick Vieira was replaced by Alou Diarra in the 58th minute due to an apparent hamstring injury.[53] In the 62nd minute, Toni headed a goal that was disallowed for offside from a Pirlo free kick.[53] After the 90 minutes of regulation time, the score was still level at 1–1, forcing the match into extra time.
In the 104th minute, Italian goalkeeper
After extra time, the score was still level at 1–1, forcing the match into a penalty shoot-out. France's David Trezeguet, who had scored the golden goal against Italy in the UEFA Euro 2000 Final, was the only player not to score his penalty after his kick hit the crossbar, shot down after its impact, and stayed just ahead of the goal-line. Fabio Grosso—who scored Italy's first goal in the 2-0 semi-final win against Germany—scored the winning penalty; Italy won by a score of 5–3.[60] After Grosso scored, Italian commentator for RAI Marco Civoli said the phrase Il cielo è azzurro sopra Berlino (in English: the sky is blue above Berlin) [61][62]

Post-match
Provocation of Zidane analysis
After video evidence suggested that Materazzi had verbally provoked Zidane into the headbutt, three British media newspapers claimed to have hired lip readers to determine what Materazzi had said, with The Times, The Sun and Daily Star claiming that Materazzi called Zidane "the son of a terrorist whore".[73] Materazzi disputed this claim, eventually winning public apologies from The Sun and Daily Star in 2008,[73][74] as well as libel damages from all three British newspapers.[75]
Zidane only partly explained that repeated harsh
Zidane later said that he did not regret his actions because "it would be like admitting that he was right to say all that".[80] Materazzi offered his version of events two months later claiming that after he had grabbed Zidane's jersey, Zidane remarked, "If you want my shirt, I will give it to you afterwards", and he replied to Zidane that he would prefer his sister, but claimed during the interview that he was unaware Zidane even had a sister.[81] Over a year after the incident, Materazzi confirmed that his precise words to Zidane were: "I prefer the whore that is your sister".[82]
Reactions
After the final, then-
The incident was extensively lampooned on the Internet and in popular culture. Family Guy parodied it in the episode "Saving Private Brian", in which Zidane headbutts an old lady while delivering her a birthday cake. The Simpsons parodied it in the episode "Marge Gamer", in which Homer Simpson shouts "Zidane!", when headbutting the linesman. In addition to becoming a staple of parody via numerous online videos and GIFs, a novelty song titled Coup de Boule ("Headbutt") reached the top of the French charts.[89] A sculpture of the incident was unveiled in 2012.[90]
In light of Zidane's statements, FIFA opened disciplinary proceedings to investigate the incident. FIFA also affirmed the legality of Elizondo's decision to send Zidane off, rejecting claims that Cantalejo had illegally relied on video transmission to make a decision about handling Zidane's misconduct.[91] FIFA issued a CHF 5,000 fine and a two-match ban against Materazzi, while Zidane received a three-match ban and a CHF 7,500 fine. Since Zidane had already retired, he voluntarily served three days of community service on FIFA's behalf as a substitute for the match ban.[92]
In October 2009, in an interview conducted on French radio station RTL, Zidane stated: "Let's not forget that provocation is a terrible thing. I have never been one to provoke; I have never done it. It's terrible, and it is best not to react".[93] However, he later said in 2015, "If you look at the 14 red cards I had in my career, 12 of them were a result of provocation. This isn't justification, this isn't an excuse, but my passion, temper and blood made me react."[94] In 2010, Zidane had said that he would "rather die than apologise" to Materazzi for the headbutt in the final,[95] but also admitted that he "could never have lived with himself" had he been allowed to remain on the pitch and help France win the match.[96]
