EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant image captured by Stuart MacFarlane during the Premier League match between Leicester City and Arsenal on February 28, 2021, we witness a significant moment in Arsenal football history as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang receives the captain's armband from his teammate, Alexandre Lacazette, in an empty King Power Stadium. The COVID-19 pandemic had brought the world to a standstill, and the UK sports scene was no exception. With strict government social distancing laws in place, stadiums around the country remained empty, leaving games to be played behind closed doors. The atmosphere was far from the usual electric energy that fills stadiums during a football match. Despite the unusual circumstances, the game went on, and Arsenal made a substitution that would mark a new chapter in the team's history. As Aubameyang came on to replace Lacazette, his teammate handed him the captain's armband, signifying his appointment as the new Arsenal captain. The moment was a testament to the resilience of the sport and the unwavering spirit of the players, who continued to give their all on the pitch despite the absence of fans. The image encapsulates the determination and camaraderie of Aubameyang and Lacazette, who, in the face of adversity, came together to make history for Arsenal Football Club. This powerful photograph serves as a reminder of the enduring power of sports and the human spirit, even in the most challenging of times. It is a moment that will undoubtedly be remembered in Arsenal's history books, and a testament to the strength and adaptability of the football community in the face of unprecedented circumstances.
