In this iconic photograph, taken on February 21,2006, at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid, Spain, Alex Hleb of Arsenal FC triumphantly lifts the UEFA Champions League trophy after scoring the only goal in a historic 1-0 victory over Real Madrid. The first knockout round of the 2005-2006 Champions League season saw Arsenal defy the odds and claim a stunning win against their formidable opponents. The atmosphere in the stadium was electric as two of Europe's most storied football clubs faced off in a highly anticipated match. Real Madrid, the reigning champions, were favored to win, but Arsenal's determined performance left the home crowd stunned. Hleb's goal, a brilliant strike from just outside the box, silenced the Bernabeu and sent the Arsenal fans into raptures. The photograph captures the moment of triumph for Arsenal and Hleb, who had only joined the club the previous summer from Borussia Dortmund. The Belarusian international's goal was a turning point in the season, boosting Arsenal's confidence and propelling them forward in the competition. The victory also marked a significant milestone for Arsenal, as it was their first win against Real Madrid in the Champions League since 1993. The photograph is a testament to the power of football and the thrill of the game. It encapsulates the passion, skill, and determination that make the UEFA Champions League one of the most prestigious competitions in world football. The image of Hleb lifting the trophy will be remembered by Arsenal fans for generations to come as a symbol of their team's triumph against the odds.
