EDITORS COMMENTS
Great moment in Arsenal history captured in this iconic photo: Real Madrid 0:1 Arsenal, from the first knockout round of the UEFA Champions League, held at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid on February 21, 2006. Arsenal's historic victory was a testament to their resilience and skill, as they faced off against the Spanish giants in their own backyard. At the heart of Arsenal's midfield was Cesc Fabregas, then just 18 years old, making his mark on the European stage. Fabregas, who had joined Arsenal from Barcelona's youth academy at the age of 16, had already shown flashes of brilliance in the Premier League. But this Champions League match against Real Madrid was a whole new level of competition. Despite the pressure and the intimidating atmosphere, Fabregas rose to the occasion. He controlled the midfield, dictated the pace of the game, and created chances for his teammates. And in the 52nd minute, his vision and passing paid off. Fabregas sent a beautiful through ball to Henry, who finished coolly to give Arsenal the lead. The crowd at Santiago Bernabeu was stunned. Real Madrid pressed for an equalizer, but Arsenal's defense held strong, with Sol Campbell and Ashley Cole putting in heroic performances. In the end, it was Arsenal who emerged victorious, with Fabregas's performance a standout moment in a memorable night for the Gunners. This photo captures the intensity and drama of that night, with Fabregas in the thick of the action, focused and determined. It's a reminder of Arsenal's triumph against the odds, and of the young midfielder's role in making history.
