Great image capturing the pre-match focus of Granit Xhaka at an empty Emirates Stadium ahead of Arsenal's UEFA Europa League semi-final showdown with Villarreal CF. The Swiss international midfielder, wearing his Arsenal jersey and focused expression, stands alone on the pitch under the dimly lit stadium lights. The empty seats in the background serve as a stark reminder of the unusual circumstances surrounding this European competition, with stadiums across Europe operating under strict restrictions due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Government social distancing laws have prohibited fans from attending games in person, resulting in matches being played behind closed doors. Despite the lack of a vocal home crowd, Xhaka and his teammates remain determined to give their all on the pitch and secure a place in the Europa League final. This evocative photograph by David Price, taken on May 6, 2021, encapsulates the intensity and anticipation of a high-stakes European football match during these unprecedented times. Arsenal fans around the world will be watching with bated breath as their team takes on Villarreal CF in this crucial semi-final clash.
