Bayern Munich substitutes wearing protective face masks maintain social distance during Sunday's 2-0 win at Union Berlin. BERLIN: The Bundesliga drew bumper global audiences for its restart at the weekend behind closed doors, but a top league official said the players will be reminded to maintain social distancing even during goal celebrations.
Dortmund striker Erling Braut Haaland celebrates in front of empty terraces in Saturday's 4-0 win over Schalke. Klein described the last few weeks as"exhilarating, challenging ... a rollercoaster" as the league got the detailed restart plans approved by the German government.Markus Soeder, the leader of the state of Bavaria, criticised Hertha Berlin's players for hugging to celebrate goals in their 3-0 win at Hoffenheim.
The German Football League say those concerned will not be sanctioned, but Klein said the message will be reinforced. Following Bayern Munich's 2-0 win at Union Berlin on Sunday, Thomas Mueller reminded his fellow pros of their duty as role models:"I think we are now more strictly under observation than the rest of Germany."The sight of elbow-bump celebrations, substitutes wearing face masks on the bench and hearing players calls echoing around empty terraces will take some getting used to.
The Dutch league, which already curtailed its 2019-2020 season, wants to use the Bundesliga's restart plans for next season.
