Again, Trouble for Sadio Mané
FC Bayern flies against Manchester City from the Champions League. Immediately after the final whistle, Sadio Mané caused trouble again.
Munich – In the end they had tried everything. But the burden from the first leg with the 0: 3 in Manchester was simply too big for FC Bayern. And in the end Sadio Mané caused trouble again! But first things first.
The 1-1 draw in the Allianz Arena at home in the second leg against Pep Guardiola and ManCity is the end of the Champions League quarter-finals for the German record champions. Once again. If the Munich team were surprisingly knocked out against underdog FC Villarreal last season, the Tuchel team delivered a strong performance against the over-team from England in two games, at least over 150 minutes.

FC Bayern is subject to Manchester City: center forward of world-class format only on one side
The only thing Bayern lacked in the clash was a world-class striker, currently the best team in Europe. As in the first leg, Thomas Tuchel’s team created good opportunities again in Munich, but only Joshua Kimmich scored a goal from the penalty spot.
“We can ask a lot of observers in England about that,” said Thomas Müller after the game in the mixed zone: “To work on City in two games and not really let it come up is respectable. Nevertheless, they scored four goals and we only one.”
FC Bayern vs. ManCity: Immediately after the final whistle there was trouble again for Sadio Mané
Would you have reached the semi-finals with Robert Lewandowski? hypothetical. But among other things, Sadio Mané was actually brought in from Liverpool FC in the summer for the missing Lewy goals. However, the Senegalese scored his last goal in Bayern dress on October 29, 2022 in a 6-2 win against FSV Mainz 05.
At the weekend against TSG Hoffenheim (1-1), the now 31-year-old was not part of the squad for disciplinary reasons because of the dispute with Leroy Sané in the first leg in Manchester – now there was trouble again in the second leg.
Mané was initially only on the bench against City, but was substituted on in the 64th minute for the hapless Sané (tz grade 4). However, those who had hoped for a little fireworks from the Senegalese were bitterly disappointed. As a left winger he was hardly visible and didn’t pose a goal threat in the 30 minutes on the pitch.
Sadio Mané disappears straight into the dressing room after the final whistle – and doesn’t thank the fans
He was most noticeable right after the final whistle: while all the Bayern stars went to the fans in the south stand after the end of the game despite the bitter elimination – and were even celebrated there – Mané disappeared straight into the dressing room with the final whistle.
His team-mates then went for a lap in the arena and thanked the supporters for the fantastic support over the previous 90 minutes. But Mané was already sulking in the catacombs again.
Sadio Mané at Bayern: does the superstar still have a future?
The superstar was no longer to be seen in the mixed zone either. Not good behavior when you’ve recently drawn the ire of fans and bosses. Before the game, Oliver Kahn confirmed that the ex-Liverpool player had received the highest fine ever imposed on Säbener Straße.
It is questionable whether Mané will continue to play a key role at FC Bayern after all the campaigns over the summer.
