EDITORS COMMENTS
In this iconic moment captured by Sean Dempsey, Chelsea Football Club's midfield maestro, Claude Makelele, savors the sweet taste of Premier League glory. The year was 2005-2006, and the Blues had just clinched the coveted title, ending a five-year drought. Makelele's arrival at Stamford Bridge in 2003 marked a turning point in Chelsea's fortunes. His unparalleled ability to win the ball and distribute it efficiently transformed the team's midfield and paved the way for their dominance in the English top-flight. As the final whistle blew against Blackburn Rovers on May 14,2006, jubilant Chelsea players and staff flooded the pitch, converging on the Premiership Trophy. Makelele, with his characteristic calm demeanor, took a moment to himself, lifting the trophy aloft and planting a tender kiss on it. The image encapsulates the profound relief, pride, and joy that came with finally reaching the pinnacle of English football. This photograph serves as a testament to Makelele's indelible impact on Chelsea's history. His unwavering dedication, professionalism, and unrivaled talent played a significant role in the team's success during this era. As the Blues continue to write new chapters in their storied history, this image remains a cherished reminder of their first Premier League title in a new millennium.
