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 fell out of favour with manager Thomas Tuchel and was named the most disappointing player in the Bundesliga in what was his debut season.

Mane has now spoken about the fight with Sane according to a report by Football Joe on Instagram

“This kind of things can happen. It happened. We were able to solve this small problem.“Sometimes it’s good to solve problems, but maybe not in this way," he said according to the post.

Sadio Mane says his fight with Leroy Sane is gone.

"It’s behind us now. We’ll try to fight together to help the club achieve its goals next season.”Speaking further, the former Southampton man confirmed that he will be at the Allianz Arena next season after his vacation in Senegal.

“God willing. If everything goes well, I’m going to return to Bayern.”
