EDITORS COMMENTS
Great image capturing the determination and focus of Arsenal's Hector Bellerin during a pivotal moment at an empty St. James Park in the Premier League match against Newcastle United, on May 2, 2021. The photograph, taken by Arsenal FC's official photographer David Price, showcases the eerie atmosphere of the stadium, with no fans in sight due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The pandemic has brought unprecedented changes to the world of sports, with stadiums across the UK operating under strict restrictions. Government social distancing laws have prohibited fans from attending games in person, resulting in a unique experience for players and staff. Bellerin, a Spanish international and Arsenal's versatile defender, is seen here in full concentration as he prepares to make a tackle. The empty stands create a surreal backdrop, with the only sounds coming from the players and the ball. The absence of the roaring crowd adds an unusual quietness to the game, making every action on the field even more noticeable. Despite the unusual circumstances, Bellerin and his teammates continue to give their all, showcasing their passion and commitment to the game. This image is a testament to their resilience and adaptability in the face of adversity, as they push forward in the 2020-21 Arsenal season. The photograph also highlights the importance of visual storytelling in sports journalism, with Price's composition and lighting effectively conveying the mood and atmosphere of the game. This image is a powerful reminder of the enduring spirit of football, even in the most challenging of times.
