Leroy Sané scores again against FC Barcelona while Sadio Mané remains goalless.
Sports reporter legend Marcel Reif draws a comparison.
Munich - Won and yet a mystery remains unsolved.
The 2-0 win against FC Barcelona in the Champions League last Tuesday was a statement victory for FC Bayern Munich.
At the same time, however, Sadio Mané, the new star signing of the summer, again fell well short of his potential.
The number of his goalless games in a row rose to four this Tuesday night.
The enigma Mané.
Africa's footballer of the year started the season so furiously with five goals in the first six games.
Now the mini crisis.
Sadio Mané even involuntarily prevented Thomas Müller's big chance against Barca.
Significant for his current situation.
Reif draws a comparison between Sadio Mané and Leroy Sané
Even more indicative of Mané's situation was what happened after Bayern's Barca game.
Main theme: Leroy Sané.
The German national player started the season as a problem child himself, but now - as he did against Barcelona - scores as if on an assembly line and is an integral part of the starting XI.
After being substituted on Tuesday, Sané angrily fired his water bottle at the ground.
He later explained: "Just emotions!
I wasn't mad about the substitution.
[...] I didn't play well.
That's why the bottle had to believe it." "No one talks about Mané when he went out," sports reporter legend Marcel Reif drew
the comparison to Sané at
Sport Bild .
The ex-Liverpool player had also been replaced by Barca.
Sané moderated his outburst of anger confidently, Reif emphasized.
And with regard to Sadio Mané and substitutions, the former commentator added: "Ask Liverpool." Because: "If he was substituted, Klopp reached out from a distance because he was under the covers."
Sadio Mané is self-critical
From Reif's point of view, however, such emotions are positive.
"If they say, 'It's great that I can stop now,' then something is wrong," he explained.
Sadio Mané himself was self-critical in view of his lack of goals.
"I know I can do better," he told Sport1.
But: “I will soon show what I can do again.
You don't have to worry about me now.” The 30-year-old has the next opportunity to do so on Saturday.
Then Mané meets FC Augsburg with the Bayern squad.
