Bayern Munich’s rough Champions League night at Man City on Tuesday didn’t end when the final whistle blew.
Instead, things only got worse when, according to multiple reports, Sadio Mané punched his teammate Leroy Sané in the face, leaving him with a bloody lip.
According to Bild, the disagreement began late in Bayern’s 3-0 quarterfinal first-leg defeat, when Mané ran into space instead of checking short for a pass from Sané.
This led to a disagreement that was visible on the pitch, but the argument escalated post-game in the dressing room to the point that Mané punched Sané, with the pair having to be separated by teammates.
Bayern has yet to publicly comment on the incident.
On Wednesday, all eyes were on Bayern’s players as they arrived back at the airport in Munich.
Sky said that Mané was picked up privately while Sané took the team bus.
Before he got on the bus, Sané appeared to be hiding his lower lip as he aimed to deprive clamoring photographers of visual evidence of the bust-up between him and the Senegal international.
