Sunday will see the NFL’s first regular season game in Berlin as the Indianapolis Colts take on the Atlanta Falcons.The Olympiastadion was originally built in 1936 for the summer Olympics and was thought to have a record attendance of well over 100,000.GettyThe Berlin Rebels were formed in 1987[/caption]The home ground of Hertha Berlin is famous for staging the 1936 Olympics as American Owens triumphedGettyThose games held in Nazi Germany went on to be known for Jesse Owens’ incredible achievements, where he won four gold medals (in 100m, 200m, 4x100m relay, and long jump).The ground later became the home of Hertha Berlin, in 1963, and hosted matches at the 1974 World Cup.After the fall of the wall in 1989, the NFL played four exhibition games there between 1990 and 1994.It was renovated in 2004, with a permanent capacity of 74,475, and is still the largest stadium in Germany.The Olympiastadion hosted the 2006 World Cup, including the final… witnessing one of the most memorable moments in sporting history this century.That of course was Zinedine Zidane’s red card in the final against Italy, where he headbutted Marco Materazzi in the chest.There is an iconic image of him walking past the World Cup trophy, knowing that it could have well cost his country. The red card was in extra-time and Italy went on to win the shootout. Perhaps what makes that moment even more iconic is that it was his last ever act as a player on a football field.Former Premier League defender Mikael Silvestre, who was part of the squad, told talkSPORT about the immediate aftermath of the game.He said: “He was already in the dressing room before us and he took his shower so he apologised.View Tweet: https://t.co/FfVx6oPOFIGettyFootball has a long history in Germany[/caption]Zidane’s headbutt was one of those iconic sporting momentsAFPHis last act on a football pitch was a red cardAFP“I didn’t know why he was apologising. It was only when I went to the media that I saw the replay of the headbutt and I thought ‘wow, wow, wow, okay.’“But what can you say? You’re not going to tell off God!“He was very introverted but you have to realise before that incident he had already collected 10 red cards in his career. There were times where he’d lose it but sometimes a lot of geniuses lose their heads.”Just three years later, the Olympiastadion witnessed another truly great moment in sport. That was Usain Bolt’s world record 100m time.Bolt shattered his own record in August 2009 as he won World Championship gold in a remarkable time of 9.58 seconds.That comfortably beat the previous mark he had set the previous year at the Beijing Olympics of 9.69 seconds.Bolt shattered his own world record at the OlympiastadionGettyHertha Berlin play their home games at the OlympiastadionGettyThat record still stands to this day and no one has even managed to get close to that time.In honour of that record, Bolt was gifted a three-ton piece of the Berlin Wall that was later sent to his training facility in Jamaica.Now, the Colts and Falcons play out the latest leg of the NFL’s steady march across the globe in front of a passionate Germany fanbase.Stay up to date with the latest from the NFL across all platforms – follow our dedicated talkSPORT USA Facebook page and subscribe to our talkSPORT USA YouTube channel for news, exclusive interviews and more.
