Arsenal kicked off their Champions League fixture against Napoli at 8pm BST, choosing to wear red shorts as a gesture of inclusivity for supporters with colour vision deficiencies.
Before the match began, both sides observed a minute of silence to honour the victims of the severe flooding that recently struck Nepal.
The atmosphere at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona was described as intense, reflecting the high stakes of the European encounter.
At least it’s not another weird sponsor name on the front. Small victories in a chaotic season, I suppose.
How does this actually help colour blind fans? The red on red might just make it harder to distinguish the kits.
The tribute for Nepal was heartbreaking. So glad the teams took a moment before the match started.
Wait, didn’t Napoli wear red shirts? I might be confused, but the kit clash looked real intense from here.
Great initiative on the red shorts. Inclusive design in football is something we desperately need more of.
