    He only won the CL once as a player, wasn't one of France's best players in 98 until the final, was never a one man show and most of the tricks and flicks he did weren't effective in the way Ronaldinho's were. He had long spells of poor form at club level. He was a great player, but isn't in the top 10 of all time. Being a 'galactico' means * all as well tbh. I still rate him as a player, but he's definitely overrated.

    Zinedine Zidane, one of the greatest footballers to ever step on to a football pitch.

    George Best - overrated primadonna * who had about 3 excellent seasons....

    My mistake, you're right it was only 1 European Cup.

    The rest of it is utter bollocks...

    An elite playmaker, renowned for his elegance, vision, ball control and technique, Zidane was named the best European footballer of the past 50 years in the UEFA Golden Jubilee Poll in 2004.[5] He is widely regarded as one of the greatest players of all time.[6][7][8]

    At club level, Zidane won the La Liga title and the UEFA Champions League with Real Madrid, two Serie A league championships with Juventus and an Intercontinental Cup and a UEFA Super Cup each with both aforementioned teams. His 2001 transfer from Juventus to Real Madrid set a world record fee of an equivalent €75 million. His left-foot volleyed winner in the 2002 UEFA Champions League Final is considered to be one of the greatest goals in the competition's history. On the international stage with France, Zidane won the 1998 FIFA World Cup, scoring twice in the final, and UEFA Euro 2000 where he was named Player of the Tournament. The World Cup triumph made him a national hero in France, and he received the Légion d'honneur in 1998.

    Zidane was named the FIFA World Player of the Year three times, in 1998, 2000 and 2003, and won the 1998 Ballon d'Or. He was Ligue 1 Player of the Year in 1996, Serie A Footballer of the Year in 2001 and La Liga Best Foreign Player in 2002. In 2004, he was named in the FIFA 100, a list of the world's greatest living players compiled by Pelé. Zidane received the Golden Ball for player of the tournament at the 2006 World Cup, despite his infamous sending off in the final against Italy for headbutting Marco Materazzi in the chest. Prior to the World Cup, he announced he would retire at the end of the tournament.

    No it isn't. 15 world cup games, 1 goal from open play and 0 assists. Incredibly overrated.

    Great player, no doubt, just not at the level of Messi, Pele, Ronaldo, Maradona, C.Ronaldo, Ronaldinho and Cruyff.

    I'd also agree with that.

    I just like to appreciate his genius, as he was, a genius.

    There is nothing secure about your opinion whatsoever, in fact it's downright lunacy.
