EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image captured by acclaimed photographer David Price, Arsenal's star striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is seen preparing for the highly-anticipated showdown against Manchester City at an eerily empty Emirates Stadium during the 2020-21 Premier League season. The COVID-19 pandemic had brought the world to a standstill, and sporting arenas in the United Kingdom were no exception. Government social distancing laws prohibited fans from attending live events, resulting in games being played behind closed doors. Aubameyang, donning his Arsenal jersey and training gear, focuses intently on the task at hand as he warms up on the pitch. The empty stands loom in the background, a stark reminder of the unusual circumstances that have disrupted the rhythm of the beautiful game. The absence of the roaring crowd, the palpable tension in the air, and the camaraderie among fans are all missing, replaced by an unsettling silence that hangs heavy in the air. Despite the unusual setting, Aubameyang's determination is palpable. His steely gaze and focused expression convey his unwavering commitment to the game and his team. The Arsenal captain, who had scored crucial goals in previous matches, was expected to lead his team to victory against Manchester City. The stage was set for an epic battle between two formidable teams, and Aubameyang was ready to rise to the occasion. This poignant photograph encapsulates the unique challenges faced by the football community during the pandemic and the resilience of players like Aubameyang, who continue to inspire fans, even in the most unprecedented of circumstances.
