EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant moment captured at Emirates Stadium on May 6, 2018, Arsene Wenger, the legendary manager of Arsenal Football Club, shares a heartfelt handshake with Per Mertesacker, a beloved defender and team captain. The image, taken by renowned sports photographer David Price, marks the end of an era for Arsenal fans as Wenger prepared to step down after 22 years at the helm. The scene unfolds during the Premier League match against Burnley, with the tension of the game momentarily suspended as Wenger and Mertesacker connect in a quiet moment before the final whistle. The emotional depth of the image is heightened by the contrasting expressions on their faces - Wenger, with a mix of pride and sadness, and Mertesacker, offering a warm and supportive smile. The significance of this handshake goes beyond the football pitch. Wenger, who joined Arsenal in 1996, transformed the club into a formidable force in English football, winning three Premier League titles, seven FA Cups, and six FA Community Shields. Mertesacker, who joined in 2011, was a key player during Wenger's final years, and the two shared a special bond both on and off the pitch. As Wenger steps away from Arsenal, Mertesacker, along with other players and fans, pays tribute to the manager who shaped their careers and left an indelible mark on the club. This image encapsulates the bittersweet feelings of farewell and gratitude, leaving a lasting impression on the hearts and minds of Arsenal supporters.
