EDITORS COMMENTS
Great photo capturing the intensity of the UEFA Europa League Quarterfinal match between Arsenal and Slavia Prague at an empty Emirates Stadium in London, England, on April 8, 2021. In the image, Bukayo Saka of Arsenal is seen skillfully maneuvering the ball past his opponent, Nicolae Stanciu of Slavia, while under pressure. The empty stands serve as a stark reminder of the unusual circumstances surrounding this European football competition due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The COVID-19 crisis has forced stadiums across Europe to operate under strict restrictions, with government social distancing laws prohibiting fans from attending live events. As a result, the Europa League quarterfinal between Arsenal and Slavia Prague was played behind closed doors, with only essential personnel and a limited number of media in attendance. Despite the lack of a vocal home crowd, both teams put on an exciting display of football, with Arsenal securing a narrow 1-0 victory in the first leg. The second leg, held a few days later in Prague, saw Arsenal advance to the semifinals with a 2-1 aggregate scoreline. This photo, taken by Arsenal FC's official photographer David Price, encapsulates the determination and focus of Bukayo Saka and the Arsenal team in the face of adversity, showcasing their resilience and commitment to competing at the highest level. The empty stands add an eerie yet unique atmosphere to the scene, making for a captivating and memorable image.
