Today is the day football fans have been waiting for. After the long absence of football due to the coronavirus pandemic, one of the biggest leagues in the world will be making its return today to end everyone's wait.

That competition is the Bundesliga. It has been no secret that the German top-flight would be the first major European league to return, with the DFL announcing that things would get back underway on May 16. May 16 is finally here and lovers of the beautiful game cannot contain their excitement.

Saturday sees Matchday 26 in the German top-flight commence, with five simultaneous 9:30 AM ET kick-offs – of which Dortmund vs Schalke is the headline fixture – welcoming back the league. As a result, football fans, commentators, jokesters, and broadcasters have taken to social media to express their excitement. Here are some of the best tweets.

One of the biggest questions fans have been pondering is whether the players will be in good shape and form upon their return given the long layoff. 433 joked about this on Twitter, hinting that odds are they won't!

Bayern Munich currently top the table, sitting four points ahead of second-placed Borussia Dortmund. The league leaders will be taking on Union Berlin this weekend while third-placed RB Leipzig, who are only five points adrift of the summit, will host Freiburg.
