EDITORS COMMENTS
In an eerie display of an empty Emirates Stadium, Arsenal's Nicolas Pepe faces off against Rapid Wien's Kelvin Arase during the UEFA Europa League Group B stage match on December 3, 2020. The image captures the surreal atmosphere of the game, with no fans in attendance due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and strict government social distancing laws. Pepe, Arsenal's record signing from Lille for a reported £72 million, stands confidently with the ball at his feet, ready to take on the Rapid Wien defender. Arase, with a determined look in his eyes, prepares to challenge the Ivorian winger. The tension between the two players is palpable, despite the lack of noise from the usually boisterous Emirates crowd. The UEFA Europa League has become a crucial competition for Arsenal this season, as they look to secure a spot in European football next year. With the Premier League proving to be a challenge, the Gunners have turned their attention to the Europa League, where they currently sit at the top of their group. The empty stands, however, add an unwelcome distraction to the game, reminding us of the unprecedented times we are living in. The absence of fans not only affects the atmosphere but also the revenue of the clubs, as they rely heavily on ticket sales. Despite the challenges, both Arsenal and Rapid Wien continue to battle it out on the pitch, showcasing their skills and determination in front of empty stands. The image of Pepe and Arase facing off is a testament to the resilience of football and the unwavering spirit of the players, even in the most unusual of circumstances.
