EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Arsenal's Pablo Mari is seen in focused determination during the UEFA Europa League Group B stage match against Rapid Wien at Emirates Stadium on December 3, 2020. The image captures the intensity of the game, as Mari prepares to defend against the Austrian team's attack. However, the scene is not typical of a football match. The empty stands and lack of fans in the stadium are a stark reminder of the unprecedented challenges posed by the coronavirus pandemic. Sporting stadiums around the UK have been subjected to strict restrictions as a result of the pandemic, with government social distancing laws prohibiting fans from attending live events. This has resulted in a surreal atmosphere, with games being played behind closed doors. Arsenal FC's encounter with SK Rapid Wien was no exception. Despite the absence of the passionate Arsenal supporters, the players remained undeterred, giving their all on the pitch. Mari, a summer signing from Flamengo, has been a key figure in Arsenal's defense, and his performance against Rapid Wien was no exception. The Spaniard's calm and composed demeanor, coupled with his athleticism and technical ability, have made him a valuable addition to the team. The photograph, taken by Arsenal FC's official photographer Stuart MacFarlane, encapsulates the unique and challenging circumstances of the 2020-21 football season. It serves as a poignant reminder of the resilience and adaptability of the sport, even in the face of adversity. The image is a testament to the enduring spirit of football, and the unwavering commitment of the players to their craft, even as they navigate the uncharted waters of the pandemic era.
