Zinedine Zidane insists that France deserved to
lift the Euro 2000 title despite the fortunate nature of their victory against
Italy.
Roger Lemerre's side looked beaten after Marco Delvecchio's opener for Italy
but a last minute equaliser from Sylvain Wiltord sent the game into extra-time
where Zidane's future Juventus team-mate David Trezeguet grabbed the golden
goal.
"We knew that it was going to be difficult and it was difficult," said Zidane. "If
there had not been this goal of Sylvain we would have lost.
"But we were hopeful until the end and over the whole competition we deserved it
more than the Italians."
