Bayern Munich boss Thomas Tuchel was furious after Josip Stanisic, who is on loan at Bayer Leverkusen, scored against his parent club.
Bayer Leverkusen triumphed with a 3-0 win, with Stanisic among the goalscorers. The 23-year-old is on loan for a season to Bayern, where he started as a youth player in 2017.
While in the Premier League loaned players are not allowed to play against their parent clubs, this rule does not apply in the Bundesliga.
Former Chelsea manager Tuchel expressed his bewilderment that such a scenario could occur.
Tuchel said: ‘In England there is a nice rule that if you loan a player out, he or she cannot play against you. To me that makes more sense. Unfortunately, this rule does not exist in Germany’.
