EDITORS COMMENTS
In this electrifying moment captured at Emirates Stadium on December 12,2007, Abu Diaby of Arsenal Football Club scores the opening goal against Steaua Bucuresti in the UEFA Champions League Group H match. The French midfielder, then 22 years old, seized the opportunity to put Arsenal ahead with a brilliant individual effort. Diaby received the ball from a teammate just outside the penalty area, took a few steps forward, and with a swift turn, created enough space to unleash a powerful shot towards the Bucuresti goal. The visiting team's keeper, Robinson Zapata, was caught off guard as the ball flew past him, leaving him rooted to the spot. Arsenal fans erupted in cheers, their team now leading 1-0 in this crucial European fixture. Coached by Arsène Wenger, Arsenal was known for its attacking football and flair, and Diaby's goal was a testament to the team's ability to create chances and finish them off. The midfielder's performance that night showcased his potential and earned him praise from teammates and fans alike. This photograph, taken by Stuart MacFarlane for Arsenal Football Club, captures the intensity and excitement of a pivotal moment in Arsenal's UEFA Champions League campaign. The image serves as a reminder of Diaby's contribution to the team and the electrifying atmosphere at Emirates Stadium during European matches.
