EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image captured by Arsenal FC's official photographer Stuart MacFarlane, Hector Bellerin of Arsenal undergoes a temperature check upon arrival at the empty Eden Arena in Prague, Czech Republic, ahead of the UEFA Europa League Quarterfinal second leg match against Slavia Praha on April 15, 2021. The scene encapsulates the surreal atmosphere of modern-day professional sports, as the global coronavirus pandemic continues to disrupt the world of football. The eerie silence that envelops Eden Arena is a stark contrast to the usual cacophony of noise and excitement that fills sports stadiums during high-stakes matches. The absence of fans, a staple of the football experience, is a poignant reminder of the unprecedented challenges that the sporting world faces in these times. Bellerin, a versatile Spanish defender, stands patiently as a medical professional checks his temperature with a thermal gun. The serious expression on his face and the sterile surroundings underscore the gravity of the situation. The image is a testament to the unwavering spirit of athletes and the resilience of the sporting community in the face of adversity. As the world grapples with the ongoing pandemic, sporting events continue to be played behind closed doors, with stringent health and safety measures in place. This photograph offers a glimpse into the new reality of professional football, where the focus is on ensuring the health and safety of players, staff, and officials above all else. Despite the challenges, the spirit of competition and the pursuit of excellence remain undeterred. The UEFA Europa League Quarterfinal between Slavia Praha and Arsenal FC serves as a reminder that, even in the most trying of times, the game goes on.
