Following a 3-0 loss to Manchester City on Tuesday night, Sadio Mane reportedly punched Bayern teammate Leroy Sane in the face during a dressing room squabble.

Losing to Manchester City in the first leg of their Champions League quarter final was tough for Bayern and clearly some players took the loss harder than others in the squad.

It was clear to see both Sadio Mane and Leroy Sane arguing on the pitch during the 3-0 loss and according to BILD, the pairs argument only escalated as they headed down the tunnel at full time.

According to reports, the Bayern wingers had to be separated in the changing rooms as things got physical between the pair.

The cause of the argument came late in the second half, as Sane showed frustration at Mane for making what he thought was the wrong run at the time, as he clearly gestured that he wanted his Senegalese teammate to come short and pick up the ball.

After the bust up in the changing room, Mane was reportedly asked to wait outside while things settled down. Although not much is yet known about the incident, Bayern Munich have refused to comment on the situation at this time.

 

It has been reported that Bayern are expected to take action on Mane for his actions, but with a bruised face and a bruised ego, it appears his German teammate has come out of the scuffle worse.

Manchester City will make the trip to Germany next week, as they look to ease their way into the semi finals of the Champions League yet again and with the Bayern camp showing a real lack of cohesion, the second leg could be an easy test for the Citizens.
