A sharp defeat in the Champions League against Manchester City (3-0) increased the tension in the dressing room of Bayern Munich, and Sadio Mane hit Leroy Sane, who was subsequently suspended by the management of the Bavarian team.

Sadio Mane received the second largest penalty in the history of football

Thomas Tuchel’s arrival on the Bayern Munich bench has not been auspicious, at least for the time being.

Despite Bayern regaining their position at the top of the Bundesliga with a 4-2 win over Borussia Dortmund, the Bavarians were knocked out of the German Cup by Freiburg and now remain a step away from the Champions League after their failure at the Etihad Stadium . .

In addition, the German club caught the attention of the world media after Sadio Mane hit Leroy Sane late in the duel with City.

The former Liverpool player received the second largest fine in the history of football (€500,000) and was excluded from the team for the championship match with Hoffenheim.

Thomas Tuchel, the current coach of “Bayern” Munich, told a press conference today about the episode that happened between two of his students.

“I did not witness the incident because I was in the coaches’ locker room. I didn’t hear anything, but I talked to those involved right after.

Since it was such a high-profile episode, it was necessary to clarify the situation before the next training session and to understand as clearly as possible with everyone who belongs to this club.

We clarified the situation and we can train well together again. We are not the first team to experience something like this, and we will not be the last. The way they behaved set them free.

At the last training session, we had an atmosphere full of energy and positivity. I was the first to rush to Mane’s defense. I have known him for a long time, I know his surroundings. He was never, absolutely never guilty of anything.

Everyone has the right to make a mistake. But this was too far from the Bavarian code of conduct. He admitted his guilt and apologized.” – said Thomas Tuchel, reports bulynews.com.

Sadio Mane was transferred from Liverpool in the summer of 2022 for 32 million euros.

Since then, the 31-year-old winger has made 32 appearances, scoring 11 goals and providing 5 assists for Bayern.

The Senegalese recently returned to the national team after recovering from an injury that caused him to miss the World Cup in Qatar.
