Germany's Bundesliga resumed on Saturday, becoming the first major European league to return to action since lockdown restrictions began.

With no spectators present, the sound of the crowd was replaced by players and coaches shouting to one another and the satisfying thud of the ball hitting the back of the net - for fans of teams that won, that is...

Six games took place, with Borussia Dortmund beating Schalke 4-0 to close the gap to one point on leaders Bayern Munich, who play on Sunday.

New protocols saw teams arrive in several buses so they could socially distance on the journey to the game - players and staff had been quarantining in team hotels all week and are being tested for coronavirus regularly.

Facemasks were worn on the way into the ground while other people attending, including the media, had their temperatures checked and police patrolled to make sure no crowds gathered at venues.

Footballs were also disinfected by ball boys before the game and again at half-time.

UNION BERLIN 0 BAYERN MUNICH 2


Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich comfortably beat Union Berlin in another strange game as the league's return continued during the coronavirus pandemic.

It has been allowed to restart without fans, most people off the pitch wearing masks and muted goal celebrations.

Robert Lewandowski gave the champions the lead with a penalty - his 40th goal in 34 Bayern games this season.

And Benjamin Pavard headed in a late second from Joshua Kimmich's corner.

Saturday's games gave us an indication of what football will look like for the foreseeable future, as the Bundesliga became the first elite league to return.

And it was more of the same on Sunday, with substitutes and coaches socially distancing on the bench - including using the front rows of the otherwise empty stands.

The footballs were disinfected by ball boys and left in certain spots around the pitch, rather than handing them directly to the players.

Even goal celebrations were mostly done without embracing, although Pavard hugged David Alaba after his late goal.

DORTMUND WANT EDOUARD?

They've only just finished putting four past Schalke, but Borussia Dortmund reportedly want to sign Celtic forward Odsonne Edouard.

Le10Sport report BVB want to bring the 22-year-old this summer, despite signing Erling Haaland only four months ago.

Celtic will want megabucks especially as it's a big season for them next year.
