EDITORS COMMENTS
Great photo capturing a pivotal moment in Cesc Fabregas' Arsenal career as he scores his first goal for the club against Dinamo Zagreb in the UEFA Champions League qualifying match on August 8, 2006. The Spanish midfielder, then just 18 years old, had joined Arsenal from Barcelona's youth academy the previous season and was making his mark in the first team. The scene at Maksimir Stadium in Zagreb, Croatia, is set as Fabregas prepares to take a shot from just outside the penalty area. His teammates, dressed in their iconic red and white Arsenal jerseys, watch intently as Fabregas takes a few steps forward, feints to the left, and then unleashes a powerful shot towards the goal. Dinamo Zagreb goalkeeper Ivan Turina is unable to prevent the ball from finding the back of the net, as Fabregas celebrates his historic goal with his teammates and the Arsenal fans in the stands. The goal was the first of three that Arsenal would score that evening, securing a comfortable 3-0 lead in the first leg of the qualifying round. Fabregas would go on to become a key player for Arsenal, making over 300 appearances for the club and helping them win numerous trophies, including the FA Cup in 2005 and 2014. His time at Arsenal would also see him earn numerous individual accolades, including being named the club's Player of the Season in 2008 and 2011. This photo serves as a reminder of the promising talent that Fabregas was when he first joined Arsenal and the impact he had on the team during his time there.
