Sadio Mané and Leroy Sané clashed after Bayern’s defeat by City, reports say
Bayern Munich’s Sadio Mané and Leroy Sané clashed in the dressing room after the German club’s Champions league quarter-final first leg defeat by Manchester City, according to reports in Germany on Wednesday.
Bild and Sky Sports Germany reported Sané had suffered a cut lip in the altercation and the two, who were also seen arguing on the pitch late in the game, had to be separated by teammates.
Bild said the Senegal international Mané, a two-time African footballer of the year, had complained about the way the Germany winger Sané spoke to him after the 3-0 defeat at the Etihad Stadium.
There was no immediate comment from Bayern Munich.
