EDITORS COMMENTS
In an eerie and unprecedented atmosphere, Arsenal's Kieran Tierney took to the pitch at an empty Karaiskakis Stadium for the UEFA Europa League Round of 16 first leg match against Olympiacos on March 11, 2021. The Scottish international left-back is seen here in focused determination as he prepares to defend against an Olympiacos attack. The image, captured by Arsenal FC's official photographer Stuart MacFarlane, encapsulates the surreal scene that has become the new norm in European football due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. With government social distancing laws prohibiting fans from attending live sporting events, stadiums across Europe have been transformed into ghostly arenas, devoid of the passionate supporters who once filled them with energy and atmosphere. Despite the lack of a vocal home crowd, Tierney and his teammates remained focused on the task at hand, as they looked to secure a positive result against their Greek opponents. The first leg ended in a 1-1 draw, setting up an intriguing second leg encounter at the Emirates Stadium. The empty stands served as a stark reminder of the challenges facing the football world during these uncertain times, but also highlighted the resilience and adaptability of the game's players and clubs in the face of adversity. As the UEFA Europa League competition progresses, Arsenal and their opponents will continue to battle it out on the pitch, with the support of their fans in spirit, even if not in person.
