In this image captured by acclaimed photographer David Price, Granit Xhaka of Arsenal FC fiercely defends against the combined threats of Allan Saint-Maximin and Joelinton of Newcastle United during the Premier League match between the two teams on May 2, 2021. The game, held at St. James Park in Newcastle upon Tyne, England, took place behind closed doors due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and government social distancing laws. With the stadium devoid of the usual roaring crowd, the focus shifted entirely to the action on the pitch. Xhaka, a crucial midfielder for Arsenal, showcases his determination and skill as he expertly clears the ball from the looming presence of his Newcastle United opponents. The intensity of the moment is palpable, with Xhaka's steely gaze fixed on the ball and his body poised for the next challenge. This powerful photograph encapsulates the raw emotion and competitive spirit of soccer, even in the face of unprecedented challenges. The empty stands serve as a poignant reminder of the unique circumstances that have transformed the sporting landscape in 2021. Despite the lack of spectators, the passion and commitment of the players shines through, making for a truly memorable moment in the annals of Arsenal and Newcastle United's storied rivalry.
