Great image capturing the emptiness and surreal atmosphere at Emirates Stadium during the Arsenal vs Rapid Wien UEFA Europa League match on December 3, 2020. Amidst the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic, sporting stadiums across the UK have been subjected to strict restrictions, with government social distancing laws prohibiting fans from attending live events. As a result, this Group B stage encounter between Arsenal FC and SK Rapid Wien took place behind closed doors. In the photo, Arsenal's Pablo Mari and Rapid Wien's Deni Alar engage in a tense challenge on the pitch, oblivious to the eerie silence that envelops the usually bustling Emirates Stadium. The absence of fans creates an unusual backdrop to the competitive football action, with the empty seats and deserted concourses serving as a stark reminder of the unprecedented challenges posed by the global health crisis. Despite the unusual circumstances, both teams displayed commendable focus and determination, battling it out on the field to secure valuable points in the UEFA Europa League competition. The empty stadium, however, underscored the profound impact of the pandemic on the world of sports and the collective experience of football fans. This photograph by Stuart MacFarlane from Arsenal Football Club beautifully encapsulates the unique atmosphere of the 2020-21 Arsenal vs Rapid Wien match, offering a poignant glimpse into the changed landscape of live sporting events during the Coronavirus era.
