EDITORS COMMENTS
Great photo capturing a poignant moment during the Premier League match between Manchester City and Chelsea, held at Etihad Stadium on December 3,2016. In this image, Diego Costa of Chelsea team is seen scoring the first goal for his team, with an emotional expression on his face. The significance of this goal goes beyond the game itself, as Costa chose to pay tribute to the victims of the Chapecoense plane crash that occurred just days prior. The Brazilian football club, Chapecoense, was on its way to Colombia for the final of the Copa Sudamericana when the plane crashed, killing 71 people, including 19 players and staff members. The tragedy shook the football world, leaving an indelible mark on the sporting community. Costa, a Brazilian international, felt a deep connection to the victims and their club. In solidarity, he wore a black armband during the match as a sign of mourning. After scoring the goal, he pointed to the armband, paying homage to the fallen Chapecoense players and staff. This powerful image encapsulates the spirit of sportsmanship and the human connection that transcends the boundaries of competition. It serves as a reminder that football is not just a game, but a unifying force that brings people together in times of sorrow and joy. The photograph by Darren Walsh, taken during the 2016-17 season, is a testament to the resilience and compassion of the football community in the face of adversity.
