EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking image captured by Arsenal FC's official photographer Stuart MacFarlane, we find Nicolas Pepe of the Gunners in action during the UEFA Europa League Group B stage match against Rapid Wien at Emirates Stadium in London, England. The photograph was taken on December 3, 2020, during a time when the coronavirus pandemic had forced stadiums across the UK to implement strict restrictions. As a result, the game between Arsenal and Rapid Wien took place behind closed doors, with no fans in attendance. Pepe, dressed in his Arsenal jersey, is seen in mid-stride, eyes focused intently on the ball as he prepares to take on his opponent. The empty stands in the background serve as a poignant reminder of the unusual circumstances surrounding the match. The UEFA Europa League is a prestigious European club competition, and this group stage encounter marked an important step towards qualification for the knockout stages. Pepe, a summer signing from Lille, had already made an impact at Arsenal with his electric pace and goalscoring ability. Here, he is shown at the heart of the action, embodying the determination and focus required to succeed in the high-pressure environment of professional soccer. Despite the challenges presented by the pandemic, Arsenal and other clubs have continued to compete in various competitions, showcasing their resilience and adaptability. This photograph captures a moment of intensity and focus amidst the unusual backdrop of an empty Emirates Stadium. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of sport and the unwavering commitment of athletes to their craft, even in the most challenging of circumstances.
