13 things we loved this weekend: Muller, Lacazette, Sneijder & more
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.

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.

Jadon Sancho
Another weekend, another defender sh*tting himself at the prospect of trying to stop Sancho.
