EDITORS COMMENTS
Great image capturing the determination and focus of Arsenal's Granit Xhaka during a tense Premier League match against Newcastle United at an empty Emirates Stadium in January 2021. Amidst the unprecedented challenges of the coronavirus pandemic, stadiums across England have been forced to operate under strict restrictions, with government social distancing laws prohibiting fans from attending live games. Xhaka, a key midfielder for the Gunners, is seen here in full concentration as he prepares to distribute a pass during the match. The empty stands and eerie silence of the stadium add to the surreal atmosphere, highlighting the unique circumstances under which this season's football is being played. Despite the absence of fans, Xhaka and his teammates have continued to give their all on the pitch, showcasing their skill, grit, and resilience in the face of adversity. This powerful photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring spirit of football and the unwavering commitment of players to their sport, even in the most challenging of times. Taken by renowned sports photographer Stuart MacFarlane for Arsenal Football Club, this image encapsulates the raw emotion and intensity of professional football during the 2020-21 season. The empty stands may have robbed us of the electric atmosphere that comes with a live match, but they have also given us a unique perspective on the game, allowing us to appreciate the players' dedication and passion in a new light.
