EVERYONE missed football while it was away, but Bayern Munich's Allianz Arena was out of use for so long that weeds have been spotted growing in the stands.

The Bundesliga champions have gained a few dedicated ever-green supporters.

The German league was the first major European competition to resume after the spread of Covid-19 brought world football to a crashing halt in March.

Bundesliga matches restarted on May 16 behind closed doors.

Masks were worn, balls wiped and airport gangways even used to maintain social distancing for substitutes.

LaLiga returns tonight ahead of the Premier League's resumption on June 17.

The weeds popped their heads out despite biosecurity restrictions and caused quite a stir with Bayern fans on social media.

One said: "I envy those weeds."

Another queried "how does that happen?"

And had their question answered with a witty reply: "They just purchase a ticket like anyone else."

Bayern have opened up a seven point gap over nearest rivals Borussia Dortmund as they look to make it eight league titles on the bounce.

The Bavarian side beat Dortmund 1-0 on May 26 thanks to a glorious Joshua Kimmich chip and Hansi Flick's side will be hard to topple at the top of the table.
