EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Eddie Nketiah of Arsenal Football Club concentrates intently during the UEFA Europa League group stage match against Rapid Wien, played behind closed doors at Emirates Stadium on December 3, 2020. Amidst the eerie silence of an empty stadium, the young striker prepares to take on the Austrian champions in London's premier football competition. The image captures the unique atmosphere of the 2020-21 season, where the global coronavirus pandemic forced stadiums across the UK to remain under strict restrictions. Government social distancing laws prohibited fans from attending live sporting events, resulting in games being played in empty venues. Despite the absence of the passionate Arsenal supporters, Nketiah and his teammates remained focused on the task at hand. The UEFA Europa League presented an opportunity for Arsenal to make a strong impression in European competition, and Nketiah was determined to contribute to the team's success. The photograph, expertly captured by Arsenal FC's Stuart MacFarlane, highlights the resilience and determination of the players, who continued to push forward amidst the challenges posed by the pandemic. The empty stands serve as a poignant reminder of the unique circumstances that defined the 2020-21 football season, while also emphasizing the importance of the beautiful game and the unwavering spirit of its players. Arsenal's Group B stage encounter against Rapid Wien marked a pivotal moment in the club's UEFA Europa League campaign, and Nketiah's performance was a testament to the team's commitment to overcoming adversity and continuing to compete at the highest level.
