EDITORS COMMENTS
Great image capturing the tense atmosphere during Arsenal's Europa League clash with Olympiacos, marred by multiple red cards issued by referee Carlos Del Cerro Grande. The empty Emirates Stadium, a stark reminder of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, sets the stage for this dramatic European night. With fans prohibited from attending due to government social distancing laws, the focus was solely on the action unfolding on the pitch. Del Cerro Grande had a busy night, dishing out punishments left, right, and center as tempers flared between players from both teams. Ousseynou Ba of Olympiacos was one of the unlucky ones, receiving a red card for a rash challenge in the first half. Arsenal's Dani Ceballos and Pablo Mari also saw red, leaving their team to play with ten men for significant portions of the game. Despite the challenges, Arsenal managed to emerge victorious, securing their place in the Europa League quarterfinals. The red cards added to the drama of an already exciting match, making for an unforgettable night of football in the empty Emirates Stadium. The image perfectly encapsulates the intensity and passion of European football, even in the absence of fans. Del Cerro Grande's stern demeanor and Ba's dejected expression add to the narrative, making for a compelling visual story. Overall, a fantastic capture by David Price of this pivotal moment in Arsenal's Europa League campaign.
