Borussia Dortmund's coach and chief executive spoke of the "very strange" and "surreal" experience of playing in an empty stadium after their side beat Schalke as the Bundesliga returned to action on Saturday. Second-placed Dortmund won 4-0 to close the gap on leaders Bayern Munich to one point as the Bundesliga became the first top league to resume play since the coronavirus pandemic forced the season to be put on hold in March. Dortmund's CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke said it had been unsettling to watch the game in the club's empty Signal Iduna Park, where more than 80,000 spectators would normally have roared on the teams.
