EDITORS COMMENTS
In this iconic photograph, two footballing legends, Alexander Hleb from Arsenal and Arjen Robben of Chelsea, lock eyes during the FA Community Shield match at The Millennium Stadium in Cardiff on August 7,2005. The annual curtain-raiser to the English football season saw Chelsea emerge as the victors, with a 1-2 win over their London rivals Arsenal. Alexander Hleb, a Belarusian international, had joined Arsenal in the summer of 2005 from Austrian club Rennes, bringing with him a wealth of experience and creativity from midfield. Hleb's silky skills and ability to unlock defenses made him a fan favorite at Highbury, and his arrival was seen as a major boost to Arsenal's title defense. Across the pitch, Arjen Robben represented Chelsea, having joined the Blues from Dutch side PSV Eindhoven the previous year. Robben's blistering pace, technical prowess, and eye for goal made him a formidable opponent for any team, and he quickly became a key figure in Jose Mourinho's title-winning squad. The FA Community Shield presented an early opportunity for these two talented players to go head-to-head, with the stakes high and the tension palpable. In this moment, captured by the lens of Arsenal Football Club's official photographer Stuart MacFarlane, Hleb and Robben size each other up, their determination and focus evident as they prepare for battle on the football field. This photograph serves as a reminder of the intense rivalry between these two London clubs and the individual brilliance of the players who have graced their pitches. Despite the outcome of this particular encounter, both Hleb and Robben left indelible marks on the English game, and their legacies continue to inspire new generations of footballers.
