Yep, that was 30 years before Zidane's achievements.
a lifetime...
And the only player from those 72/74 German squads to be able to rival Zidane in an all-time ranking is Beckenbauer. That means Ziz is indeed in extreme elite company in regards to those achievements.

All I have been saying ever since we started this discussion -and despite the fact that I am clearly biased-- is that Zizou is the best player of his era/generation.

(NB: France is the only team to make it back-to-back in this order : WC than Euro. And most "experts" will tell you that winning the Euro is tougher than winning the WC. That was a fantastic achievement to back up a World Cup title by a Euro Championship. And France remains, to date, the only team to have done so.)
