VIDEO: Zidane's Headbutt Statue in Qatar
There used to be a statue of Zidane headbutting Materazzi along the Corniche! The statue was previously found in Paris and was brought to Qatar by the Qatar Museums. The statue's craftsmanship and symbolism were earlier praised as "timeless as Greek mythological works of art" by the Jean-Paul Engelen, director of Public Art at the Qatari Museum Authority. Engelen said that the sculpture “glorifies human defects,” and “shows that although we sometimes treat footballers like gods, they’re not—they’re just human beings.

By the way , this was a couple of years ago wasn't it ?
Saw the statue once . To be honest , I didn't really see it as a work of art .. I couldn't really understand what the artist was trying to portray.. For me , it was a waste .. But then , art is subjective and to each his own ..
Saw it many times and enjoyed looking at it - Joys
