EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph taken by Stuart MacFarlane for Arsenal Football Club, French international striker Alex Lacazette prepares for the Gunners' clash against Sheffield United during the 2020-21 Premier League season. The image captures the empty and eerie atmosphere of Emirates Stadium, with Lacazette's Arsenal shirt lying on a chair in the home changing room. The pandemic's impact on sports is palpable as government social distancing laws prohibit fans from attending games, leaving stadiums eerily quiet and devoid of their usual vibrant energy. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the unprecedented challenges the world of football is facing during these uncertain times. Despite the absence of fans, Lacazette remains focused, his determined expression reflecting the unwavering spirit of the Arsenal team. The empty seats and quiet corridors of Emirates Stadium offer a stark contrast to the usual pre-match hustle and bustle, but the players' commitment to their craft remains unchanged. The photograph also highlights the meticulous preparation that goes into every football match, even when played behind closed doors. Lacazette's shirt, neatly folded on a chair, is a testament to the attention to detail that is essential for success on the pitch. As Arsenal and Sheffield United prepare to face off, the empty Emirates Stadium stands as a symbol of resilience and determination in the face of adversity. The photograph encapsulates the unique and surreal experience of watching football during the pandemic, offering a glimpse into the world of professional sports as it adapts to the new normal.
