The king of sports is back in the football world. And in the Bundesliga, most celebrations on this return to the field were at a distance, with elbows and feet. However, Belgian defender Dedryck Boyata from Hertha kissed his teammate Marko Grujic on the cheek after the first goal in the 3-0 victory over Hoffenheim.

The German Football League had officially announced to the clubs, before the resumption of the competition, that hugs and hand contacts to celebrate goals should be avoided and called for "elbow or foot contact".

"For the celebrations, only advice has been given and therefore there can be no sanctions," the DFL said after the first day of the Bundesliga's restart.

It should be noted that after the controversial celebration, the DFL stated that there will be no punishment for this act.
