Adrien Rabiot made history with a stunning brace in France's 3-1 victory over Italy in the UEFA Nations League on November 17, 2024.
The match, held at the San Siro, saw Rabiot's two headed goals, which made him the first French player to score a brace of headers in an official match since Zinedine Zidane did so in the 1998 World Cup final.
Both of Rabiot's goals came from precise crosses delivered by Lucas Digne, mimicking the setup of Zidane’s iconic goals from Youri Djorkaeff's corners during France's World Cup triumph.
Rabiot’s performance was pivotal as he not only scored the goals but also contributed to all three of France's strikes, further cementing his role in Didier Deschamps' squad.
This victory allowed France to reclaim the top spot in their group from Italy, bouncing back from a disappointing result against Israel earlier in the week.
Rabiot's celebration after the match even included a tribute to Lionel Messi’s memorable El Clasico gesture, adding a personal touch to his remarkable performance.
