EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph captured by Arsenal FC's official photographer Stuart MacFarlane, we witness a moment of quiet reflection before the storm of competition, as Arsenal Players Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Bernd Leno, Hector Bellerin, and Mohamed Elneny gather at Emirates Stadium prior to their Premier League encounter against Sheffield United on October 4, 2020. The image encapsulates the surreal atmosphere of the 2020-21 season, with empty seats stretching out behind them, a stark reminder of the government's social distancing laws that prohibited fans from attending live sporting events due to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic. Despite the eerie silence that enveloped the usually bustling Emirates Stadium, the Arsenal quartet remained focused, their expressions a mix of determination and concentration as they prepared to take on Chris Wilder's Sheffield United team. Aubameyang, the team's captain and star striker, stands at the forefront, his gaze fixed on the horizon, while Leno, the German goalkeeper, adjusts his gloves with a calm demeanor. Bellerin, the Spanish right-back, and Elneny, the Egyptian midfielder, engage in a brief conversation, their body language suggesting a shared understanding and camaraderie. This photograph not only serves as a poignant reminder of the unique challenges faced by the sports world during the pandemic but also highlights the resilience and adaptability of the players, who continued to compete in empty stadiums, showcasing their skills and passion for the game in front of an invisible, yet ever-present, global audience.
