EDITORS COMMENTS
In a poignant moment during the Manchester Derby of the 2016-17 Premier League season, Willian of Chelsea paid tribute to the victims of the Chapecoense plane crash as he scored the team's second goal against Manchester City at Etihad Stadium. The Brazilian football club had tragically lost most of its team and staff in a plane crash just days prior to the match, leaving the football world in shock. As Willian netted the ball past Manchester City's goalkeeper, he held up a black armband to honor the memory of those who had lost their lives in the devastating accident. The emotional scene was a testament to the power of sports to bring people together in times of grief and to pay tribute to those who have been lost. The image of Willian holding up the black armband, with the backdrop of the Etihad Stadium crowd, captures the somber mood of the moment and the unity of the football community in mourning. The photo serves as a reminder of the human element of sports and the importance of coming together to support one another in times of need. The moment was significant not only for the football community, but also for the people of Chapeco, Brazil, who were deeply affected by the loss of their beloved team. The gesture from Willian and Chelsea FC was a small but meaningful way to acknowledge the tragedy and show solidarity with those who were grieving. This powerful photo by Darren Walsh of Chelsea FC is a poignant reminder of the emotional depth that sports can bring, and the ability of athletes to use their platform to make a difference.
