EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph taken by David Price for Arsenal Football Club, we witness a moment of anticipation before the Premier League clash between Arsenal and Leicester City at Emirates Stadium on October 25, 2020. The image captures Arsenal's goalkeeper, Bernd Leno, in a focused and determined pose as he prepares for the upcoming match. However, this is not just any ordinary football game – it is being played amidst the unprecedented challenges posed by the global Coronavirus pandemic. The empty stands of Emirates Stadium reflect the strict restrictions put in place by the UK Government to prevent the spread of the virus. The pandemic has forced stadiums across the country to operate under stringent social distancing laws, resulting in games being played behind closed doors. The eerie silence of the usually bustling stadium is a stark reminder of the times we live in. Despite the absence of fans, the passion and intensity of the beautiful game remain undeterred. The players continue to put in their best efforts on the pitch, with Leno here shown in a state of readiness, poised to make a save and protect his team's goal. The photograph encapsulates the resilience and adaptability of the football community in the face of adversity, showcasing the enduring spirit of the sport. The 2020-21 Arsenal vs Leicester City match at Emirates Stadium serves as a testament to the power of football to bring people together, even in the most challenging of circumstances. This image offers a glimpse into the world of professional football during the pandemic, highlighting the unique challenges and adaptations required to keep the game alive.
