Zinédine Zidane & friends

We're back with our Wednesday column featuring the most beautiful shirts in football history, realised in partnership with Classic Football Shirts, the greatest retailer of football shirts in the world.

After the 1994 World Cup, we go back to deal with great football events. The Portuguese European Cup of 2004 was perfectly inserted in the frame of a nation boosted from the 1998 Lisbon Expo, whose modernizations had benefits to the whole region. The Portuguese, lead by the last Luis Figo and a youth Cristiano Ronaldo, smashed against the unbelievable enterprise of Greece. In the same year, the Olympic Games return in their motherland. As Pasadena in 1994, also Lisbon and Athens are really hot.

"Made by adidas, this 2004-06 France home jersey was worn by one of the World's greatest players to ever grace the soccer field, Zinedine Zidane #10. Supported by able team mates like Thierry Henry, Lillian Thuram, David Trezeguet and William Gallas. This jersey was worn by Zizou as he broke English hearts in the Euro 2004 opener with two late goals including a stunning free-kick".
