EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph taken by Arsenal FC's official photographer Stuart MacFarlane, Hector Bellerin of Arsenal undergoes a temperature check prior to the UEFA Europa League Quarterfinal match against Slavia Prague at the empty Eden Arena in Prague, Czech Republic, on April 15, 2021. The image captures the surreal atmosphere of modern football as the coronavirus pandemic continues to impact the sporting world. The absence of fans in the stadium is evident as Bellerin approaches the temperature check station, wearing his Arsenal training gear and a protective face mask. The usually bustling Eden Arena stands eerily quiet, with empty seats stretching out in all directions. The strict health and safety measures in place are a stark reminder of the unprecedented challenges facing football clubs and their fans during these uncertain times. Bellerin, a Spanish international right-back, is focused on the task at hand, preparing for the second leg of Arsenal's Europa League quarterfinal against Slavia Prague. The first leg had ended in a 1-1 draw, leaving both teams with all to play for in the return fixture. Despite the unusual circumstances, Bellerin and his teammates remain determined to progress in the competition and secure a place in the Europa League semifinals. This photograph encapsulates the resilience and adaptability of football in the face of adversity, as well as the unwavering commitment of players like Bellerin to represent their clubs and compete at the highest level. The empty stands may be a temporary setback, but the passion and excitement of football fans will surely return as soon as it is safe to do so.
