At the Arsenal coaching bench, Wenger was all smiles, applauding as he admired Ma'el's celebratory figure, his eyes full of affection.
His beloved player, who frequently brought surprises to the team, who would have thought Arsenal would take the lead so swiftly right after coming on!
For a moment, he was in a daze, as if he could see this team soaring upwards from this battle line, rushing towards the finals.
They made it to the Champions League final in the 05-06 season. That season, the team had been pulled apart by more than ten points by the top three in the league early on, making the title race on the main line hopeless, so they shifted focus to the Champions League.

They overcame barriers one after another, close to winning the club's first Champions League trophy.
