Sadio Mane reportedly struck Bayern Munich teammate Leroy Sane in the mouth during a dressing room dispute on Tuesday night.
The attacking pair had been seen arguing on the pitch during the 3-0 loss to Manchester City in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final.
It only escalated from there, according to BILD. Their team-mates are said to have separated Mane and Sane in the dressing room after the physical altercation, which stemmed from Mane’s frustration over how he had been spoken to during the game. The latter was supposedly even told to wait outside.
The trigger for the dispute is said to be the moment in the 83rd minute when Sane complained to Mane about an attempted run in behind the defence. Sane wanted the Senegalese player to come short and angrily told him so.
Bayern Munich is yet to make an official statement as regards this trending claims on the social media.
