EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph taken by Stuart MacFarlane for Arsenal Football Club, Kieran Tierney of Arsenal prepares for the empty clash against Brighton & Hove Albion during the 2019-2020 Premier League season. The image captures the surreal atmosphere of football stadiums across Europe during the coronavirus pandemic, as government social distancing laws prohibited fans from attending live matches. The scene at American Express Community Stadium in Brighton, England, is eerily quiet, with no cheers or jeers to be heard. Tierney, a Scottish international and Arsenal's new signing from Celtic, stands alone on the touchline, focused intently on the game ahead. His teammates and opponents are also absent from the frame, leaving the viewer to ponder the isolation and solitude that defines this unique moment in sports history. The absence of an audience adds an unusual dimension to the event, as the usual energy and excitement generated by fans is replaced by an almost meditative calm. The empty seats, normally filled with passionate supporters, create a stark contrast to the vibrant colors of the pitch and the players' uniforms. Despite the unusual circumstances, Tierney and his teammates pressed on, determined to compete and secure valuable points in the race for Premier League survival. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the resilience and adaptability of the football community in the face of adversity. The 2019-2020 Premier League season will be remembered for its unconventional nature, with empty stadiums becoming a common sight. This image of Kieran Tierney readying for the Brighton & Hove Albion clash encapsulates the spirit of the times, offering a glimpse into the world of professional football during the coronavirus pandemic.
