Sadio Mane finally breaks silence after Leroy Sane incident at Bayern

Sadio Mane has finally broken his silence on the incident where he punched teammate Leroy Sane in the dressing room following Bayern Munich's 3-0 loss to Manchester City in the Uefa Champions League.

The former Liverpool forward was suspended by the German club for one game and fined £250,000 for the altercation.

Afterwards in an interview with Sky Sports, Mane said that he was "very sorry" for what happened and that he had apologized to Sane.

As per the Daily Mail, he said: “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. It's behind us now. We'll try to fight together to help the club achieve its goals next season.”

Mane added: “I'm on vacation with the family. It was a very complicated season, it happens. It wasn't a surprise, I expected things to be a bit complicated. It's normal.

“I love challenges, and Bayern is a big challenge. It's up to me to do everything to meet this challenge.”

Mane joined Bayern last summer from Liverpool in a deal worth a reported £35 million but  failed to replicate his Liverpool form then suffered multiple injuries, including one that kept him out of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

During the 22/23 season, Mane made a total of 38 appearances across all competitions for Bayern, scoring 12 goals and assisting six.
