Union Berlin coach Nenad Bjelica attacked Leroy Sané during the game against FC Bayern Munich.
The FCB fans are outraged.
Munich – FC Bayern Munich scores a home win against Union Berlin.
What sounds like an ordinary Bundesliga game turned out to be one of the biggest scandals in recent Bundesliga history.
Union coach Nenad Bjelica clashed with Bayern star Leroy Sané during a throw-in and wiped the national player's face twice.
Bjelica does not apologize to Bayern Sané
Even after the game between FC Bayern and Union Berlin, Nenad Bjelica only showed partial insight.
Although he described his jumping action as “not to be tolerated”, he at the same time explicitly did not apologize to Sané because the offensive player had previously pushed the Croatian.
The fan reactions didn't take long to arrive.
An FCB supporter wrote on X (formerly Twitter): “What Bjelica is saying in the interview is really anti-social!
Sané didn't push him at all!” In fact, there is no push from Sané in the television pictures.

What are the consequences for Bjelica after his attack against Sané?
The lack of insight also caused a stir among another X user: “Not even the size to publicly apologize to Leroy is looking for any excuses instead.
Bjelica is an absolute joke,” said a post about the game.
The consequences for Bjelica will only become apparent in the next few days.
Due to his red card, the 52-year-old will in any case be suspended for the match against Darmstadt next weekend.
It is very likely that the DFB will significantly extend the suspension of the Berlin coach.
It is still unclear whether Union Berlin will also react.
In a similar incident from 2005, coach Norbert Meier was subsequently fired from MSV Duisburg as a result of a headbutt against player Albert Streit.
Is Bjelica also threatened with release?
