Bayern Munich duo Sadio Mane and Leroy Sane came to blows early this year in the dressing room fight following a poor outing against Manchester City in the Champions League.
Senegalese forward Sadio Mane has spoken out for the first time about his fight with teammate Leroy Sane.
Bayern Munich forwards Mane and Sane were involved in a bust-up back in April after a heavy defeat at Manchester City in the Champions League.
Both players argued while walking down the tunnel during the encounter at the Etihad. The altercation led to the Senegal star punching his German teammate in the face.
He was subsequently punished and fined £250, 000 which was the biggest fine in Bayern’s history.
