EDITORS COMMENTS
In a poignant moment during the Premier League match between Manchester City and Chelsea on December 3,2016, at Etihad Stadium, Diego Costa scored a goal that went beyond the realm of football. The goal, Chelsea's first of the game, came in memory of the victims of the Chapecoense plane crash that had occurred just days prior. The Brazilian football club, Chapecoense, was on its way to Colombia for the first leg of the Copa Sudamericana final against Atletico Nacional when the plane crashed, killing 71 people, including 19 players, coaching staff, and club officials. The tragedy shook the football world, leaving an indelible mark on the sport and its fans. As Costa stepped up to take the penalty kick, he wore a black armband as a tribute to the victims of the Chapecoense crash. The crowd held a moment of silence before the game in their honor. When Costa scored, he pointed to the sky, gesturing to the heavens in memory of those who had lost their lives. The emotional moment was captured perfectly by Darren Walsh in this powerful photograph. The goal was a small gesture of solidarity and respect, but it spoke volumes about the resilience and compassion of the football community. In the face of tragedy, the game of football came together to honor the victims and celebrate the spirit of the beautiful game. The moment was a reminder that, despite the competitiveness and intensity of the sport, football is more than just a game. It's a global community that comes together in times of need and celebrates the human spirit.
