Domenic Aquilina has won the Sport General Photographer of the Year category at the 2011 awards of the UK-based Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers (SWPP).

The sports section of the prestigious contest includes all the submissions of the monthly com-petitions organised by the SWPP, one of the fastest growing worldwide associations for professional photographers.

Aquilina’s winning photo shows Barcelona’s Lionel Messi being tackled by Cristian Chivu, of Inter, during the second leg of the 2009/10 Champions League semi-final at the Nou Camp.

The judging panel described Aquilina’s entry as a “top class action at a top class game which gives a top class image”.

The other two finalists were James Gunn and Sofie Louca.
