EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph captured by David Price for Arsenal Football Club, Alexandre Lacazette of the Arsenal team engages in a tense moment with Semi Ajayi of West Bromwich Albion during the Premier League match between the two clubs on May 9, 2021, at the Emirates Stadium in London. The image encapsulates the intensity and competition of professional soccer, yet the empty stands create an eerie and ghostly atmosphere, a stark reminder of the unprecedented challenges posed by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. As the world grapples with the global health crisis, sporting stadiums across the United Kingdom have been forced to implement stringent restrictions, with government social distancing laws prohibiting fans from attending live events. The once bustling Emirates Stadium, known for its vibrant energy and passionate supporters, now stands as an empty battlefield, where the only sounds are the roars of the players and the rhythmic beat of their cleats against the turf. The ghostly emptiness of the stadium adds an unusual layer of focus to the game, as the players' determination and skill take center stage. Lacazette and Ajayi, locked in their duel, are oblivious to the absence of the crowd, their eyes fixed on the ball and the task at hand. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the resilience and adaptability of professional sports, even in the face of adversity. Despite the unusual circumstances, the spirit of competition remains undeterred, as Arsenal and West Bromwich Albion continue their battle for points in the Premier League. The photograph stands as a testament to the enduring allure of soccer, even in the most unexpected of settings.
