That, ALONE, singles him out over any other player since these are the two most prestigious stages football can offer and Zidane has both trophees to show for.

West Germany won the Euro Cup in 1972 and the World Cup in 1974. So Sepp Maier, Franz Beckenbauer, Gerd Muller, Paul Breitner, Uli Hoeness and a few others have done it too.
