In this evocative image captured by Arsenal FC's official photographer David Price, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang of the Arsenal Football Club prepares for the highly-anticipated showdown against Manchester City, with an empty Emirates Stadium serving as his backdrop in the 2020-21 Premier League season. The COVID-19 pandemic has drastically altered the landscape of sports, with stadiums around the UK implementing strict restrictions to adhere to government social distancing laws, resulting in games being played behind closed doors. Despite the absence of roaring crowds, Aubameyang's focus remains undeterred as he goes through his pre-match routine. The Gabon international striker, who had already scored 17 goals in all competitions before this fixture, is a beacon of determination and resilience in the face of unprecedented challenges. The empty stands, bathed in soft, natural light filtering through the stadium's roof, create an eerie yet poignant atmosphere, emphasizing the surreal nature of the situation. The Arsenal vs Manchester City match, traditionally one of the most hotly contested fixtures in the English Premier League, takes on a new dimension as both teams battle for crucial points in the race for European qualification. Aubameyang and his teammates will rely on their collective resolve and skill to secure a positive result in this empty arena, with the weight of their fans' support carried in the hearts and minds of each player. This powerful photograph encapsulates the unique spirit of the 2020-21 Premier League season, where the passion and intensity of the beautiful game continue to thrive amidst the uncertainties and challenges posed by the ongoing pandemic.
