I'm definitely with George there. This weekend has been miles better than every other weekend since football was suspended in my opinion.

People need to accept that football will be behind closed doors for the foreseeable. Who cares if there's no atmosphere, I'd rather watch a game than not have it on at all. Players certainly won't be treating any game like a training match so not sure where that argument has come from?

Charlotte East: Not going to lie, football behind closed doors is boring and odd. Just watched 42 mins of the Bayern Munich match and it feels like a training game! The only benefit is you can hear the ref and players. Not a fan of PL returning like this.

Leo Weiniger: Rubbish penalty that- don't like to criticise keepers who concede pens but that really could have been saved.

Bayern have a corner now. Union could do with just getting in at half-time.

Can't complain cos footballs back, but didn't expect this to be the drab match of the day - Cologne v Mainz was way more entertaining than this one (so far anyway) !
Fin, Cardiff
Fin did text this in before the goal to be fair
GOAL - Union Berlin 0-1 Bayern Munichpublished at 40 mins
Robert Lewandowski
It's Robert Lewandowski's 40th goal of the season! In 34 games!
He skips as he runs up, waits for the goalkeeper to make his move and then slots it just off-centre.

Bayern have a penalty. Leon Goretzka sneaks in behind Neven Subotic, takes the ball and draws the foul.

Union Berlin 0-0 Bayern Munich
Bayern left-back Alphonso Davies catches Grischa Promel and gets booked. You could hear Promel's shouts there - he needs treatment.

Union forward Anthony Ujah is holding his shoulder after getting a whack from Manuel Neuer, who was (fairly) catching the ball.
A drop ball to Bayern.

Jerome Boateng absolutely slices a clearance that loops into the air but luckily a Union player can't quite control the loose ball.

Haven't seen loads of Robert Lewandowski yet... so he'll probably score four goals.
