That hand ball from Abel Xavier still hunts me to this day deeply in my memory together with Zidane scoring that penalty and Portugal being eliminated ...I was a child then and 20 years years ago i had forgotten about it and just before the highlights i saw Abel Xavier blond hair coming through i knew there was something painful regarding him Zidane and Portugal but couldnt quite remember what until i saw the highlights it all comeback. Trauma is real its never gone truly sleeps deep within..

Curious fact, france beat Portugal at the semi finals and Italy at the final, the two teams who will beat France in the next two finals they will rich, in 2006 and 2016... Portugal and Italy got their revenge after this.
My God the nostalgia! I was 15 at the time, and still remember this tornament very well. I think many will agree Euro 2000 and France 98 are probably the best football tornament the past 30 years!
if you start watching at 0:23 you begin to understand the genius that was Zinedine Zidane. He made the sport into art, and is the reason I watch today. Ice cold in all the pressure moments, blessed with otherworldly vision, silky playmaking skills and deceptive strength. No doubt Zidane is my favorite player ever.
It's amazing the games between 🇵🇹🇨🇵, it always goes deep in extra time, are very equal and even confrontations. Always ends up dramatically.. It seems after 3 semis defeats, all in extra time, Euro84, Euro2000, WC 2006, the Portuguese turned it into their own hands after 2016 final. I predict 2 more revenges, and Euro 2020 group stage encounter may led to a semi final or final encounter again.. Remember, 2 more revenges will come to Portuguese side all in dramatic fashion as well..
In my opinion 2000 Portugal team was slightly better than 2004-2006 or 2012-2016 teams. 2000 was a pinnacle of their "golden generation" - Figo, Rui Costa, Paulo Sousa, Fernando Couto, Vitor Baia, Joao Pinto, Nuno Gomes, Jorge Costa, Sergio Conseisao, Costinha...How this team with all these players didn't qualify for 1998 WC is beyond me. Temporary lack of form or what ?
lombard605 This is just the thing .. When a team is at its peak it doesn’t necessarily mean it will succeed for granted, but it doesn’t mean that team will not succeed at a later time, either!
I was at this game. I somehow won the lottery at the time and scored one ticket to the match. Best sporting experience I have ever had. Great game and Zidane was fantastic.
Portugal lost in 2000 & 2006 to France...then got a sweet revenge in 2016 in Paris!! I'm so glad Portugal didn't lose 3X that would've been devastating
In 2006 the final game should be Portugal vs Italy. And 2004 we should be champions of europe. The destiny is paying her dues to the portugueses. Waiting for Russia...

If you know what I mean ;)
Nah. It's almost the same now. Both teams when it comes to added time play very defensive footbal: 1. because they're tired 2. because the other team is tired 3. no one wants to lose a goal because they know they're going to penalties. With golden goal it was much more fascinating and a lot harder.
It was cruel indeed. but the right decision was made. crystal clear penalty. the "sore loser" reaction of the Portuguese players was atrocious to watch afterwards

Exactly. Seriously nowadays theres a complete lack of talent. The best players are taken by the top teams, unlike in the 90s 00s when you have great players in every team. Just look at the gap between top and bottom in the top leagues. The top teams are scoring 100+ goals, getting higher points easily each season. This just shows the extreme gap in quality between the teams that its not even funny.
Funny thing about this match is that Abel Xavier had an excellent chance to put Portugal 2-1 ahead with 5 minutes to go after that header from Figo's free-kick, which would have probably given Portugal the win and made him the hero of the match, as opposed to the villain.
The game was a lot faster back then without all the passing we see nowadays. Was a real privilege to grow up with this era of players which would not fall down for every little touch.

Abel Xavier, what a goalkeeper !
Comment les portugais ont-ils pu "oser" prétendre que A. Xavier ne met pas sa main. Un cyclope aveugle l'aurait vu lui aussi. Quel spectacle de mauvais perdants ils ont montré.Pfiuuuu.
Very true this was the best euro and France 98 was the best world cup because each team had at least 3 to 6 legendary players , non eu restrictions on players has made international less competitive in my view .
That Was So Amazing Match In 2000,Bravo France 👍
i love zidane ,he is one of the finest legend
2:37 SUPER DRAGÕES!!
Como assim ? Não percebi ? Mas curtia saber
Zizou et David 😍😍
Greatest commenetator
THIS LOOKED LIKE A QUALITY GAME
2:26 Classic boots there on Trezeguet and Abel Xavier, the Adidas and Nike. Everyone had either when I played football.
Man.. Nuno gomes, rui costa , figo , pauleta, deco what a team
not deco, only after 2004.
Deco wasnt on this team
Zizou,s skill that night was sublime 👋
As a French fan, one of the most difficult victories in History of France (with V Portugal 84, and V Italy 98 and 2000).
