Ode to defeat: Paris honors 'Zidane's headbutt'

A 16ft bronze statue by Algerian artist Adel Abdessemed was unveiled outside the Pompidou Centre in Paris last week. The artwork, entitled Headbutt commemorates the moment when French footballer Zinedine Zidane infamously lost his cool, hitting Italy’s Marco Materazzi square in the chest with his head, during the 2006 World Cup final.
