EDITORS COMMENTS
Great image capturing the focus and determination of Martin Odegaard during Arsenal's Europa League battle against Olympiacos at an empty Emirates Stadium. The Norwegian midfielder shines in this starkly lit scene, with the empty seats in the background serving as a stark reminder of the unusual circumstances surrounding this European match. The coronavirus pandemic has forced stadiums across Europe to operate under strict restrictions, with government social distancing laws prohibiting fans from attending live sporting events. This has resulted in a surreal atmosphere for players and staff, as they navigate the challenges of competing in front of empty stands. Despite the unusual conditions, Odegaard and his teammates remained focused on the task at hand, putting in a strong performance against Olympiacos in the UEFA Europa League Round of 16 second leg. Arsenal emerged victorious, securing their place in the next round of the competition. The image also highlights the impressive lighting and photography skills of David Price, who captured this moment with precision and depth. The use of shadows and contrast adds to the intensity and drama of the scene, making for a striking and memorable image. Overall, this photograph encapsulates the unique challenges and emotions of playing professional soccer during the pandemic, while also showcasing Odegaard's standout performance for Arsenal.
