EDITORS COMMENTS
Great image capturing the focus and determination of Arsenal's Granit Xhaka during a tense moment in the 2020-21 Premier League match against Crystal Palace at the empty Emirates Stadium. The Swiss midfielder, wearing the iconic red and white Arsenal jersey, is seen in full concentration as he prepares to distribute a pass, his eyes fixed on the ball and his body poised for action. The scene is a stark reminder of the unprecedented challenges faced by the sports world due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. With government social distancing laws in place, stadiums around England have been forced to remain closed to fans, resulting in games being played behind closed doors. The usually vibrant and electric atmosphere of Emirates Stadium is replaced by an eerie silence, with only the sounds of the players and the ball in motion filling the air. Despite the unusual circumstances, Xhaka and his teammates have continued to put in their best efforts on the pitch, determined to secure valuable points for their team. The empty stands have undoubtedly presented unique challenges, but the players have shown resilience and adaptability, proving that the beautiful game can still be played in these trying times. This powerful photograph by Stuart MacFarlane of Arsenal FC via Getty Images encapsulates the grit and determination of Xhaka and his teammates as they navigate the challenges of the 2020-21 season, and serves as a testament to the enduring spirit of football in the face of adversity.
