Germany 2006

The 2006 FIFA World Cup final is staged at Berlin’s Olympiastadion, where Italy and France battle for glory. After a 1-1 draw and a tense extra time — remembered for Zidane’s dramatic red card — the match is decided by penalties. Italy converts all of their kicks, and Fabio Grosso scores the winner. The referee signals the end of the shootout, and the Azzurri sprint toward history. Captain Fabio Cannavaro hoists the trophy under the Berlin lights, surrounded by cheers and tears. It is Italy’s fourth World Cup title, a victory built on resilience and unity.
