Italy defender Marco Materazzi has finally revealed what he said that instigated the infamous Zinedine Zidane headbutt in the Fifa 2006 World Cup final.
With the match tied up 1-1 with 10 minutes remaining in extra-time, the French captain was red carded after he head-butted Materazzi in the chest.
Italy went onto win a penalty shoot-out and claim their fourth World Cup title. Zidane never played for France again having led them to a maiden World Cup title eight years earlier.
Reports at the time suggested the Italian provoked Zidane by making a comment about his mother but Materazzi denied that, saying his own mother passed away when he was young. But he has revealed he did take a shot at a family member of Zidane.
Quoted by Italian media, Materazzi was answering questions on Instagram Live last week when a fan brought up the Zidane headbutt.
