The Bayern Munich coach claimed to have been happy with the performance despite his side’s 3-0 thrashing by Manchester City in the first leg
Mane and Sane had an argument on the pitch last night, which continued after the final whistle and the Senegalese international did not like the way Sane spoke to him which led to him striking and leaving a mark on his lip.
The altercation began in the 83rd minute when Mane ran into space for a through ball rather than coming short to receive the ball from Sane.
This led to a heated argument between the pair in full view of the glaring Etihad crowd and the millions watching around the world.
Trouble in the Bayern camp
This is precisely the opposite of the kind of attention Thomas Tuchel would want around his team having only taken charge at the club less than a month ago.
In Tuchel's short reign at the Allianz Arena so far, Bayern Munich have crashed out of the DFB Pokal following a 2-1 defeat to Freinurg and now are on the brink of Champions League elimination following the devastating 3-0 loss to Manchester City in the first leg of the quarter-final.
With two wins, two losses and now two of his star players reportedly coming to blows, Tuchel's start to life at Bayern Munich has not gone according to plan at all.
