‘They didn’t want an African as the top earner’ Mane’s manager makes shock Bayern Munich claims
Bacary Cisse, PR manager for Sadio Mane, has made some startling revelations about the Senegalese’s time in Bayern Munich, accusing the Bavarians of discrimination
In the 83rd minute of the game at the Etihad Stadium, Mane and Sane got into a verbal altercation before moving their fight inside the locker room.
After the full-time whistle, the tensions reached a boiling point and according to reports, Mane punched the Germany winger Sane in the face in the Bayern dressing room.
Following the incident, Bayern penalised the Senegalese star for his involvement and sidelined him from the team.

Sadio Mane statement on the incident
In a lengthy interview with RMC Sport, the PR manager for Sadio Mané, Bacary Cissé, addressed all of the inquiries regarding the incident with Sané.
Bacary Cissé said in an interview with RMC Sport as reported by Fabrizio Romano, “Everyone with a knowledge of European football knows that Leroy Sané is a very condescending guy.
“ While Sadio is very calm and has shown that everywhere he played. Sané has exceeded the limits.
“Many wrong things were said about what happened. Many 'dirty' things came out of the German press. They sided with Sané against Sadio. They said Sadio was fined €500k, which is a lie.
“Leroy Sané apologised to Sadio after the incident. Why? Because he knew it was him who fuc*ed up. He (Sané) called some players and told them.
“I sent a text to Sadio, tell him to respond' - Sadio responded and accepted his apology, but told him that shouldn't happen again.

Revealed: Ronaldo, Mane, Benzema headline Top 10 highest-paid footballers in Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia welcomed a host of big-name footballers to the Middle East this summer while offering them mouth-watering paychecks for their services.
“Sadio racially insulted by Sané? Yes, indeed. I can't enter into certain details. That's why I said there was ingratitude on Bayern's part. It's crazy!
“If Sadio Mané's skin colour bothered Leroy Sané, it also bothered the people in charge at Bayern, because they didn't understand why they would have to pay this kind of money to this guy”.
