EDITORS COMMENTS
In an eerie and unprecedented atmosphere, Arsenal's Gabriel Magalhães scored the second goal for the Gunners in their Europa League Round of 16 first leg match against Olympiacos at Karaiskakis Stadium in Piraeus, Greece, on March 11, 2021. The empty stands of the stadium were a stark reminder of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, which has forced stadiums across Europe to remain under strict restrictions. Gabriel's goal came in the 36th minute, and he celebrated with his teammates Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Gabriel Martinelli, as well as Cedric Soares. The goal put Arsenal in a commanding position, as they went into halftime with a 2-0 lead. The absence of fans in the stadium was a surreal sight, with the usual noise and energy of the crowd replaced by an eerie silence. The pandemic has forced sports leagues and organizations around the world to adapt to new ways of operating, with many games being played behind closed doors. Despite the unusual circumstances, Arsenal put in a strong performance against Olympiacos, with Gabriel's goal being a highlight of the match. The Gunners will look to build on their first-leg lead when they face Olympiacos in the second leg of the Europa League Round of 16, with the date and venue yet to be confirmed due to the ongoing pandemic. This photograph, taken by Stuart MacFarlane of Arsenal FC, captures the moment of celebration amidst the emptiness of the stadium, providing a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by the world of sport in the era of the coronavirus pandemic.
