after joining the team Zidane scored the goal that won
the 2002 European Cup for Real Madrid with only seconds
remaining in the final match. This was Real
Madrid’s ninth victory in that tournament, a record, and
their win filled in a large hole in Zidane’s résumé: despite
his success in other venues, up till this point, Zidane
had not yet won a European Cup. Fans can only
hope that Zidane will continue to perform as well for the
rest of his time in Madrid.
