EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image captured by Arsenal FC's official photographer David Price, Alexandre Lacazette of the Arsenal soccer team takes a free kick during the FA Cup Final match against Chelsea, held at the iconic Wembley Stadium in London on August 1, 2020. The empty stands of the stadium serve as a stark reminder of the unprecedented challenges posed by the global Coronavirus pandemic. Football stadiums across Europe have been deserted during this period, with government social distancing laws prohibiting fans from attending live sporting events. As a result, all fixtures, including the FA Cup, have been played behind closed doors. Despite the absence of the passionate fanbase that usually fills the stands, the spirit of competition and sportsmanship remains undeterred. Lacazette, a French international striker, focuses intently on the ball as he prepares to take the free kick, oblivious to the eerie silence that surrounds him. The empty seats, bathed in the soft glow of the stadium lights, create an otherworldly atmosphere that underscores the surreal nature of the situation. This photograph encapsulates the unique moment in sports history, where the absence of fans does not diminish the importance of the game but rather adds a new layer of meaning to the beautiful game. The FA Cup Final between Arsenal and Chelsea, Arsenal's 2019-2020 season, will forever be remembered as a testament to the resilience and adaptability of football in the face of adversity.
