Wiesn scandal for Sané: ex-Bayern star in scuffle with fans | OneFootball

Former Bayern star Leroy Sané had planned to toast with old acquaintances of the German record champions at the Oktoberfest - but the Wiesn evening of the ex-Munich player ended in an unpleasant incident.

The winger, who is currently under contract with Galatasaray Istanbul, got into a scuffle with visitors in the "Weinzelt" according to BILD late Sunday evening.

Previously, the 29-year-old had stopped by the Schützenfest tent with Bayern coach Vincent Kompany to meet old companions. After the 3:0 victory of Munich against Eintracht Frankfurt, the mood was initially exuberant. But around 11 pm, the atmosphere changed - Sané is said to have felt provoked by a table, apparently with fans of FC Bayern.

Provocations in the festival tent - Scuffle with security intervention

As the BILD reports, visitors repeatedly called out mocking comments to the ex-pro about his transfer from Munich to Galatasaray Istanbul. According to witness statements, insults were also made, including the phrase "Shit-Gala!". Sané, who then passed the table, initially remained calm, but then sought direct confrontation when the provocations did not stop.

An eyewitness told the newspaper that there was a brief scuffle before security forces intervened and quickly brought the situation under control. Christine da Silva, spokesperson for the Kuffler Group, which operates the Weinzelt, confirmed the incident: "There was a small security incident on the gallery on Sunday evening, but the security forces were able to moderate it away and thus resolve it peacefully. No police were needed."

Thus, the incident remained minor, even though it quickly caused a stir on social media.

Leroy Sané himself commented on the incident a little later and was self-critical. He told BILD: "I was provoked and personally insulted in the festival tent over a longer period of time - my club Galatasaray was also insulted. In the heated atmosphere, I was then also pushed and then there was a brief scuffle. But of course, I should have reacted more calmly at that moment and should have ignored it - I take that with me."

The former Bayern star, who is having difficulties getting started in Turkey, apparently did not want to escalate the incident further. Instead, he emphasized that he wants to approach the situation more calmly in the future.
