L. Sane asked Bayern officials not to fire S. Mane © zumapress

The career of the Munich "Bayern" striker Sadio Mane, who caused a scandal, was saved in Germany by Leroy Sane, who suffered from the African's blow.

"Bild" reports that the German asked the club's management not to terminate the contract with his teammate who hit him in the face.

However, S. Mane will not be able to escape a lighter punishment - he will be forced to miss the next team match against "Hoffenheim" and will have to pay a fine.

Let's remind that the incident in the "Bayern" locker room occurred after a painful defeat in Manchester a week ago.

At that time, in the first UEFA Champions League quarter-final match, the hosts crushed the Germans 3-0.
