EDITORS COMMENTS
great image capturing the eerie atmosphere of an empty Stamford Bridge during the 2020-21 Premier League match between Chelsea and Arsenal. In this photograph, Arsenal's Pablo Mari is seen focused on the game, oblivious to the absence of the usual roaring crowd that would typically fill the iconic London stadium. The COVID-19 pandemic has drastically altered the landscape of sports, with strict government social distancing laws prohibiting fans from attending live events. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the unprecedented times we are living in, as stadiums across the UK remain eerily quiet during matches. Despite the lack of spectators, the intensity of the game is palpable as Mari, a new addition to Arsenal's defense, prepares to defend against Chelsea's attack. The empty stands do little to dampen the spirit of competition, as both teams continue to battle it out on the pitch. The photograph, taken by Arsenal FC's official photographer David Price, offers a unique perspective on the game, highlighting the surreal nature of playing in an empty stadium. It's a snapshot of a moment in time, a reminder of the resilience of football and the determination of players to continue competing, even in the face of unprecedented challenges. This image is a testament to the enduring power of sport, and the ability of football to bring people together, even in the most unusual of circumstances. It's a powerful reminder that, even in the midst of a global pandemic, the game goes on.
