EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image captured by Darren Walsh of Chelsea FC, Reece James of the English Premier League champions, Chelsea, is seen in deep concentration during the UEFA Champions League Quarter Final Second Leg match against FC Porto at Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan in Seville, Spain, on April 13,2021. The atmosphere inside the stadium was unusually quiet, as the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic forced the game to be played behind closed doors, with no fans in attendance. The UEFA Champions League, one of the most prestigious club soccer competitions in the world, had reached the business end of the season. This image captures the intensity and focus of James, as he prepared to take on Porto in the crucial second leg of the quarterfinals. With the first leg ending in a 0-0 draw, both teams knew that the stakes were high, and the outcome of this match would determine which team would progress to the next round. Despite the absence of the passionate fans who would normally fill the stands, the players remained undeterred, giving their all on the pitch in front of the empty seats. The empty stadium added an eerie stillness to the game, with the only sounds coming from the players' footsteps, the ball being passed around, and the occasional instructions from the coaches. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the unique challenges posed by the pandemic to the world of sports. The image not only captures the essence of the UEFA Champions League and the determination of the players, but also the resilience of the sporting community in adapting to the new normal.
