Bayern Munich continued their ominous march to the Bundesliga title this weekend, while a number of teams in England played friendlies ahead of the return of football.

Elsewhere, there was some classic Polish Ekstraklasa action and we’ve got the Twitter thread you need to read to start your week off right.

We’ve rounded up the best of the action on and off the pitch.

Dortmund & Hertha

Once again using their platform right.

Possibly the slowest screamer we’ve ever seen.

No, we’ve got no idea what the keeper’s doing neither.

Mateus Pasinato

One of the best 93rd-minute fluke saves we’ve ever seen.

Wesley Sneijder

Same.

Werder Bremen

Wonderfully rubbish.

Werder Bremen haven’t scored a home Bundesliga goal from open play now in *13* hours. The last time they did was in November.

And in that time alone, they’ve only scored one Bundesliga goal at the Weserstadion. 😬

Prague

The return of Czech football prompted some brilliant photos.

Fans of Bohemians Prague stand on ladders as they watch the derby against Sparta behind fences. The Czech league resumed play after the nationwide lockdown due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, but supporters cannot be allowed in the stadium. Sparta won 1-0.

Start your week right by giving this a read.

Right, so my boy’s an only child who has a few anxiety issues and lockdown has been a bit up and down for him so we thought we’d try and do something for him he’d really enjoy. On his FIFA game he has got Peterborough into the Carabao Cup Final against Spurs…
