EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking image captured by David Price for Arsenal Football Club, Mikel Arteta, the resilient head coach of Arsenal, stands alone at an empty Wembley Stadium before the FA Cup Final match against Chelsea on August 1, 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic had brought the world to a standstill, and football stadiums across Europe were no exception. Government social distancing laws prohibited fans from attending live sporting events, leaving Arsenal's FA Cup Final against Chelsea to be played behind closed doors. Arteta, dressed in his Arsenal suit and tie, gazes intently towards the pitch, his expression a mix of determination and concentration. The usually bustling atmosphere of Wembley Stadium, filled with the anticipation and excitement of thousands of fans, is replaced by an eerie silence. The empty seats stretch out before him, a stark reminder of the unprecedented times we live in. Despite the unusual circumstances, Arteta remains focused on the task at hand. The FA Cup Final represents a chance for Arsenal to secure a much-needed victory and bring some semblance of normalcy to their fans. With the weight of the team on his shoulders, Arteta stands tall, ready to lead his team to victory in this historic, yet empty, FA Cup Final. The image captures the surreal atmosphere of football during the pandemic, highlighting the resilience and determination of the sport and its teams in the face of adversity. It serves as a reminder that even in the most challenging of times, the spirit of football endures.
