EDITORS COMMENTS
Great image capturing the intensity and drama of a pivotal moment in Arsenal Football Club's UEFA Cup history. In this photo, legendary goalkeeper Jens Lehmann is seen making a heroic save on a penalty kick by Riquelme of Villarreal during the second leg of the UEFA Cup semifinal on April 25, 2006, at El Madrigal Stadium in Villarreal. With the score still 0-0 on aggregate, Lehmann's save kept Arsenal's hopes alive in the competition. The German shot-stopper, known for his unorthodox style and fierce determination, had an impressive record in penalty shootouts, having saved four out of five spot-kicks in Arsenal's previous UEFA Cup matches. This save against Riquelme was a testament to his skill and experience, as he dove to his right to deny the Argentine midfielder and keep a clean sheet for Arsenal. The crowd at El Madrigal Stadium was left stunned, and the save galvanized Arsenal's team spirit and fueled their determination to secure a victory in the remaining minutes of the match. Ultimately, Arsenal held Villarreal scoreless and advanced to the UEFA Cup final, where they went on to win against Sevilla. This iconic moment in Arsenal's history is a reminder of the team's resilience and the crucial role that goalkeepers play in shaping the outcome of a match.
