Great image capturing the intensity of the Europa League match between Arsenal and Olympiacos, despite the empty stands at Emirates Stadium. In this moment, Arsenal's Nicolas Pepe and Olympiacos' Oleg Reabciuk face off, locked in a battle for possession of the ball. The determination on Pepe's face is evident as he prepares to take on his opponent, while Reabciuk remains focused and poised to defend. The backdrop of the empty stadium serves as a stark reminder of the unprecedented challenges the world of sport has faced due to the coronavirus pandemic. With government social distancing laws in place, stadiums across Europe have been forced to remain closed to fans, resulting in games being played behind closed doors. Despite the lack of fans, the passion and competitiveness of the players on the pitch have not waned. Pepe and Reabciuk's clash is just one example of the intense battles taking place on fields and courts around the continent as teams continue to compete in the 2020-21 season. This photograph, taken by David Price for Arsenal Football Club, is a testament to the resilience of the sporting world and the determination of athletes to continue pushing themselves to the limit, even in the most challenging of circumstances. The empty stands may have taken away the energy of the crowd, but the spirit of competition remains alive and well on the pitch. Overall, this image is a powerful reminder of the enduring nature of sport, even in the face of adversity. It's a snapshot of a moment in time that encapsulates the intensity and passion of the beautiful game, and the unwavering commitment of athletes to push themselves to the limit, no matter what.
