- It came just a week after Mane allegedly punched his teammate in the face
Sadio Mane and Leroy Sane were seen high-fiving during their substitution against Manchester City on Wednesday night.
During Bayern Munich’s match against the Premier League champions, German winger Sané was replaced in the second half by his Senegalese teammate.
The two players had a quick exchange on the sideline before Sané took the field, but many took note of the high-five between the two players.
Their interaction came just a week after Sane reportedly punched his teammate in the face following his side’s 3-0 defeat to City in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final at the Etihad.
He was subsequently dropped for Bayern’s 1-1 draw with Hoffenheim and fined more than £250,000 by the Bundesliga giants for attacking Sane.

The wingers appeared to have moved past the locker room break after last week’s match
Sane was left with a bloodied lip after the altercation, while the former Liverpool winger was fined what is believed to be the highest in Bayern history.
The duo soon made amends, it seems, and they were both seen during the team’s training session last Thursday.
Mane received a one match suspension from the club, which he has already served, before returning to the side for their game against Man City.

Bayern posted a statement on Thursday that read: “Sadio Mane, 31, will not be part of FC Bayern’s squad for the home game against 1899 Hoffenheim next Saturday.
The reason is Mane’s misconduct after FC Bayern’s Champions League match against Manchester City. In addition, Mané will be fined.’
Bayern remained on a 1-1 draw in the second leg with Man City as Joshua Kimmich’s penalty canceled out Erling Haaland’s strike early in the second half.
The result saw the German side crash out of the competition, thanks to Pep Guardiola’s side’s routine victory in the first leg.
