According to reports from German media outlets, Sadio Mane and Leroy Sane got into a physical altercation that had to be broken up by their teammates.

Tempers flared in the Bayern Munich dressing room after their 3-0 defeat to Manchester City in the Champions League on Tuesday.

According to reports from German media outlets, Sadio Mane and Leroy Sane got into a physical altercation that had to be broken up by their teammates.

The incident started on the pitch, where footage showed the two players arguing during the match.

The argument continued after the game and reportedly turned physical, with Mane allegedly punching Sane in the face, leaving him with a cut lip.

After landing back in Munich, Mane, who was a substitute for the tie, was picked up privately from the airport while Sane took the team bus. Bayern Munich declined to comment on the incident.

Despite the loss, Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel remained optimistic about his team's chances in the tournament.

"This does not feel like a 3-0 but it is a 3-0 and it is a huge, huge task now to turn this around. We are realistic but we will not give up," said Tuchel afterwards.

Tuchel also pointed out that his team had been unlucky in the match, with City's opening goal coming from a difficult situation.

"If City gets this sort of goal, it gets really, really difficult. The reaction was great during the first half. In the second half, it was even better.”

“In the period where the goal could give us a huge boost of confidence, the opposite happened," Tuchel explained.
