Hampden’s greatest goal…

… was scored in a game that didn’t involve any Scotsmen. What do you mean you’re not surprised?

For your viewing pleasure tonight, here’s Zinedine Zidan’s goal for Real Madrid against Leverkusen in the 2002 Champions League final. The version above is complete with ITV commentary – remarkably, there are no references to "that glorious night in Spain in 1999" in the clip – but there is Ron Atkinson, alas. I was reminded of it by the UEFA Cup final at the grand old Glasgow ground tonight, shockingly relegated to ITV4 because there are no British clubs involved. Really, ITV shouldn’t be allowed football.

For a version with wonderful Spanish (radio) commentary, but shitty picture quality, try this. Commentator starts shouting "goal, goal, goal" and hyperventilating; his co-commentator is up to something in the background, we feel certain.

    It is obvious that your time away has removed your ‘scots’ coloured spectacles!
