Great photo capturing a poignant moment in Arsenal Football Club history: the farewell handshake between Alexis Sanchez and Arsene Wenger during a Premier League match against Watford on October 17, 2015. The image, taken by David Price for Arsenal FC, shows the Chilean international midfielder extending his hand to his long-time manager as he was being substituted off the pitch. The 2015/16 season marked a significant turning point for both Sanchez and Wenger. Sanchez, who had joined Arsenal from Barcelona in the summer of 2014, was in the prime of his career and had established himself as a crucial player for the Gunners. Wenger, on the other hand, was facing increasing pressure from fans and media to step down as manager after a series of disappointing results. In the background, the intensity of the football match at Vicarage Road is evident, with players from both teams focused on the action. But the attention is squarely on the pair in the foreground, their connection palpable as they share a moment of mutual respect and appreciation. The handshake was a symbolic gesture, marking the end of an era for Arsenal fans. Sanchez would go on to leave the club in the following January transfer window, joining Manchester United, while Wenger would manage his final game for Arsenal in May 2018. This photo serves as a reminder of the emotional connection between players and managers, and the impact that a single moment on the pitch can have on the memories of fans. The image is a testament to the enduring legacy of both Sanchez and Wenger, and their contributions to the beautiful game.
