Football is back, but not quite as we know it. There are no crowds, there aren't supposed to be player handshakes or high-fives and, in some cases, teams are being forced to change in temporary cabins in the stadium car park in order to ensure that social distancing measures can be met as the sport adjusts to the new reality of living in the coronavirus era.
Coping with summer football is another challenge. It's true that most summers have some form of major international competition, which tests the physical and psychological limits of the world's elite players; but top-level club football at this time of the year is unprecedented, and make no mistake, it will look and feel different for everybody.
