EDITORS COMMENTS
Great image capturing the somber atmosphere at the Empty FA Cup Final between Arsenal and Chelsea at Wembley Stadium in August 2020. In this photograph, Arsenal's Granit Xhaka is seen deep in concentration as he prepares for the kick-off, with an eerie silence enveloping the usually bustling stadium. The COVID-19 pandemic had brought football stadiums across Europe to a standstill, with government social distancing laws prohibiting fans from attending live matches. As a result, all fixtures were being played behind closed doors, leaving players and essential staff as the only occupants of these grand arenas. Arsenal's 2019-2020 season had been a challenging one, and this FA Cup final presented an opportunity for the team to end the campaign on a high note. Despite the unusual circumstances, Xhaka and his teammates remained focused, determined to put on a strong performance for their supporters, who were watching from afar. The empty stands served as a stark reminder of the unprecedented times we were living in, but the spirit of football endured, with players continuing to give their all on the pitch. This poignant image by David Price encapsulates the unique and surreal experience of a football match played in an empty stadium.
