Materazzi insulted Zidane's sister. Zidane head-butted Materazzi. FIFA fined the both of them and banned them from a couple of games, but since Zidane had already retired from football, he opted to do community service instead.

Materazzi was tugging at his shirt and the following was said:
Zidane: "'if you want my shirt so much I'll give it to you afterwards"
Materazzi: "I'd prefer your sister"
After breaking his silence Materazzi added: "It's not a particularly nice thing to say, I recognise that. But loads of players say worse things.
"I didn't even know he had a sister before all this happened."
Materazzi was later handed a two-match ban from world governing body Fifa, while Zidane was banned for three games and fined £3,260.
Zidane, who has since retired from football, has never specified what Materazzi said to him and has refused to apologise to his opponent.
Asked on 12 July exactly Materazzi had said, Zidane would only offer that it was "very personal" and concerned his mother and his sister.
"You hear those things once and you try to walk away," added Zidane. "That's what I wanted to do because I am retiring. You hear it a second time and then a third time..."
