Teammates Leroy Sane and Sadio Mane were seen arguing on the pitch towards the end of Bayern Munich's 3-0 defeat at Manchester City in their Champions League quarter-final first leg.

But their row seemingly did not end there.

According to Sky Germany, Mane punched Sane in the face in the away locker room at the Etihad Stadium before the pair had to be split up.

Mane's punch is said to have left Sane with a bloodied lip.

Upon returning to Munich, Mane was reportedly picked up privately from the airport, while Sane boarded the team bus.

Sane had played the full game against City. Mane was introduced as a substitute midway through the second half.

Mane came on in the 69th minute when Bayern were only 1-0 down. City then scored twice within seven minutes of Mane's introduction.

The second leg will take place in Munich next Wednesday (April 19).
