Annie Gasnier's Sports Café, with the Bundesliga on the menu. A winning return? We played again, the stakes were many. In a sanitized Dortmund atmosphere, Bayern and Gladbach won. Players running in, hampered by new instructions, what a spectacle? Can the enthusiasm accompanying this scrutinized takeover fade with a moderate commitment? Should we be satisfied with it for now? Germany has opened the way, what about elsewhere?

Publicity

- Spain, President Tebas is getting impatient, the training continues.

- England remains divided, debates on the health situation and the methods of recovery are raging.

- Italy, the federation awaits scientific advice prior to any decision.

- The "Buli" relaunched, can Ligue 1 have any regrets? Coaster pedaling possible? JM Aulas continues his fight for a restart, in Amiens we challenge relegation.

- Neuer extends to Bayern. Two more years for the doorman with the "Roten", is he still on top?

- Lead in the wing for the "Champions Project". Accustomed to tensions, tumultuous relationships with his supporters, an OM in full arm wrestling Eyraud / Villas-Boas. Club buyout possible? Subsequent sale of players to replenish the boxes? How to value them when the transfer window looks modest?

- Will Parisians buy the 2021 edition of the dictionary? Among the new words, the "remontada". Term which has become used to describe the unexpected return of a distant team. PSG, however, sought to forget it!

- The boxes to finish.

The confined team will record the return of Olivier Pron and Marc Libbra, Rémy Ngono and Xavier Barret will cross paths.
