EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Italian football legend Alessandro Del Piero is captured in the midst of scoring a historic goal for Juventus against Manchester United in the 1997 Champions League. The image, taken from the archives of The Northcliffe Collection, transports us back in time to an era of passion, skill, and nostalgia in the beautiful game. Del Piero, with his characteristic focused expression and determined posture, is seen unleashing a powerful shot past the outstretched arms of Manchester United's legendary goalkeeper, Peter Schmeichel. The Danish shot-stopper, known for his impenetrable defenses, looks on in disbelief as the ball sails into the net, marking the opening goal for Juventus in the first leg of the quarterfinals. The atmosphere in the stadium is electric, with the crowd going wild in celebration. The contrast between the intense emotion of the players and fans and the stark, monochrome backdrop of the photograph adds to the timeless quality of the moment. This photograph not only encapsulates the drama and excitement of a pivotal moment in football history but also serves as a poignant reminder of the rich heritage and tradition of European football. Del Piero's goal proved to be a turning point in the tie, with Juventus going on to win the second leg and progress to the semifinals. As we gaze at this image, we are transported back to a time when football was about the love of the game, the thrill of the competition, and the indelible moments that leave a lasting impact on the sport and its fans.
