Zinedine Zidane's incredible first touch has never been matched by anyone in world football and a viral video proves it.

The Frenchman is one of the silkiest players ever and his trademark move was being able to control a ball no matter what.

He managed to make it look easy, whether it was a simple one-two or a cross-field ball that needed to be stopped dead.

Check out the entire video in all its glory below.


Glorious stuff. The swagger on display adds to the overall package and shows exactly why Zidane is adored by fans of all ages.

Fans have reacted to the video and all these years later, they're still in awe of 'Zizou' and his talents.





One of his most iconic moments while at Real Madrid involved a spectacular volley - which was technically his first touch.

Madrid were taking on Bayer Leverkusen in the 2002 Champions League final and Zidane scored the game's winning goal in style.

An attack down the left saw Roberto Carlos send in a lofted ball for Zidane on the edge of the area.

The 'Los Blancos' talisman swiveled his body shape and left fly with a stunning left-footed volley that rippled into the net.


One of the best ever.
