Top players, but also clubs from home and abroad, provide (almost) daily insight into the ins and outs of the football world via Instagram, X or other internet channels. In this edition of VZ Social, attention is paid to Zinédine Zidane, who 'saves' the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games by getting the Olympic torch to the right destination after all.

As the figurehead of France, Zidane plays a leading role in the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Paris. Zidane and the French-Moroccan comedian Jamel Debbouze were all set. They brought the Olympic torch to the Stade de France, but it turned out that the opening ceremony was not being held there at all.

Luckily, there is Zidane, who was not the worst and runs away with the torch. Zidane sprints into the metro, but before he reaches his destination, the metro comes to a standstill. Luckily, there were suddenly a number of children who delivered the torch to its destination: the Seine.
