EDITORS COMMENTS
Great image capturing the empty seats of Emirates Stadium during the UEFA Europa League match between Arsenal and Dundalk on October 29, 2020. The photograph, taken by David Price for Arsenal Football Club, showcases Cedric Soares of Arsenal in action against Dundalk, with the usually bustling stadium eerily quiet. The 2020-21 Europa League campaign saw sporting stadiums across the UK implementing strict COVID-19 measures, leading to games being played behind closed doors. Government social distancing laws prohibited fans from attending, creating a surreal atmosphere for players and staff. Emirates Stadium, the fortress of Arsenal Football Club, was no exception. The iconic stadium, known for its vibrant energy and passionate fanbase, was transformed into a ghostly arena. The absence of the roaring crowd left an undeniable void, making the experience for both teams and spectators at home feel distinctly different. Despite the unusual circumstances, the competition continued, with Arsenal and Dundalk battling it out in Group B. The empty stands did not deter the players, who put on a competitive show, with Cedric Soares playing a pivotal role for Arsenal. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the unprecedented challenges faced by the sports world during the pandemic. It encapsulates the resilience of football and the enduring spirit of competition, even in the most unusual of circumstances.
