In this evocative image captured by Arsenal FC's official photographer Stuart MacFarlane, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang of Arsenal Football Club gears up for the highly-anticipated clash against Crystal Palace at Emirates Stadium, amidst the deafening silence that has become the new normal in English soccer during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The scene is set against the backdrop of an empty Emirates Stadium, a stark contrast to the usual cacophony of noise and excitement that fills the air during a matchday. The absence of fans, due to government social distancing laws, has resulted in games being played behind closed doors, leaving players and staff as the only occupants of these once bustling arenas. Despite the eerie quietude, Aubameyang remains focused, his intense gaze fixed on the horizon as he goes through his pre-match routine. The Gabon international, a key figure in Arsenal's attack, is poised to lead his team to victory, his determination palpable in every movement. The Premier League match between Arsenal and Crystal Palace, scheduled for January 14, 2021, is just one of many games in the English soccer calendar that have been affected by the pandemic. As the world continues to grapple with the challenges posed by COVID-19, the resilience and adaptability of the sport and its players are on full display. This powerful photograph encapsulates the surreal atmosphere that has become synonymous with soccer during the pandemic, while also highlighting the unwavering spirit of Aubameyang and his teammates as they prepare to take on Crystal Palace in this crucial league fixture.
