Carragher was quizzed on the matter as part of CBS' UEFA Champions League coverage on Tuesday, along with fellow panellists Henry and Micah Richards.
With so many to choose from, the former Manchester City man was bold in his selection, opting for a strike from a former Real Madrid star.
"Roberto Carlos, I think it was against France, the free-kick where he bent it and it looked like it was going wide and just bent in [to the net]," began the former Aston Villa man.
"I am going to go for another Brazil full-back, because of the game and what it meant," Carragher quickly followed.
"It was with one of the greatest international teams of all time, Carlos Alberto and its is the fourth goal in the World Cup final in 1970 in Mexico.
"Brazil beat Italy 4-1 and it starts at the back with a trick, a step over and it then goes down the line.
"Rivellino into Tostao, then into Pele as he rolls into Alberto and as he just gets there the ball bobbles up and he volleys it in."
Henry was pushed for an answer and, in typical fashion, he picked a fellow countryman as his choice.
Pick any one you want as he won us that World Cup."
Zizou scored two of their goals in a comprehensive 3-0 win and it is clear that those goals hold a special place in Henry's heart.
Zidane was unstoppable during the tournament and his performance in the final that year will undoubtedly go down as one of the greatest.
"Big games belong to big players," fellow former Arsenal man Robert Pires said on the matter.
"There is no bigger game than a World Cup final so it was his stage. That's where he wanted to shine and he did just that. "Aime Jacquet saw a weakness on defending set pieces from Brazil. He told Zizou to go at the near post and that the Brazilians didn't jump on corners. That's the story of those two headers."
