Great photo capturing a pivotal moment in the FA Premiership match between Arsenal and Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on 10/12/06. The image features two footballing legends, Alexander Hleb from Arsenal and Claude Makelele from Chelsea, locked in a tense battle in the midfield. Hleb, a Belarusian international, joined Arsenal in the summer of 2005 from Barcelona for a reported fee of £14 million. Known for his creativity, agility, and versatility, Hleb was a valuable addition to Arsenal's midfield, providing them with an extra dimension in attack. On the other side, Makelele, a French international, had already established himself as a Chelsea legend by the time this match was played. Signed from Real Madrid in 2003, Makelele's defensive prowess and ability to break up opposition attacks made him an indispensable player for the Blues. Despite both teams creating numerous chances throughout the game, the scoreline remained deadlocked at 1-1, with Hleb and Makelele playing crucial roles in maintaining their respective team's shape and creating opportunities. The photo encapsulates the intensity and competitiveness of the encounter, with both players giving their all in the pursuit of victory. This image serves as a reminder of the high-stakes and thrilling football that characterized the FA Premiership during this era. The presence of two legendary players like Hleb and Makelele only adds to the nostalgic value of this photo.
