Great photo capturing a pivotal moment in the FA Premiership match between Arsenal and Portsmouth at Emirates Stadium on December 16,2006. The image features two legendary ex-players, Alexander Hleb from Arsenal and Pedro Mendes from Portsmouth, locked in a fierce battle for possession of the ball. Hleb, a Belarusian midfielder, had joined Arsenal in the summer of 2005 from Dinamo Kiev and quickly became a fan favorite with his skillful play and creativity. Mendes, a Portuguese midfielder, had joined Portsmouth in 2005 after a successful stint at Real Madrid. The match was a closely contested affair, with both teams creating numerous chances. Hleb and Mendes were instrumental in their team's attacks, showcasing their technical abilities and tenacity on the pitch. In this particular moment, Hleb is seen trying to shield the ball from Mendes, who is determined to win it back. The score was 2-2, and the outcome of the game was still uncertain. The tension in the image is palpable, with both players giving their all to secure the advantage for their respective teams. The crowd at Emirates Stadium is on the edge of their seats, eagerly anticipating the next move. This photo is a testament to the intensity and passion of the FA Premiership and the caliber of talent that graced the pitch during that era. Hleb and Mendes may no longer be active players, but their impact on the game will always be remembered.
