The episode came to life in between Sadio Mané and Leroy Sane this Tuesday, with both footballers beating After arguing on the pitch, this is not the only thing that happened in the world of football. In fact, there is a long history of acrimony between the teammates that has sometimes even been resolved with punches. Here we explain the most notable cases.
Dyer vs. Bowyer
newcastle
Perhaps one of the most famous matches in the world of soccer. Midway through a game against Aston Villa in 2005, both Newcastle players began exchanging blows when Bowyer berated him for not passing the ball to him. Both ended up being sent off by the referee after being separated by Gareth Barry.
Ibrahimovic against Onyewu
Milan
During a training session in Milan, cameras caught the Swede misbehaving with his partner when he kicked him from behind. Later, Ibra made a hard tackle on the American, who scrambled and both ended up hitting each other, resulting in the defender breaking a rib.
Robben against Ribery
Bayern
It is a situation similar to that of Mané and Sané. In the second leg of the Champions League semifinal between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, Arjen Robben and Frank Ribéry started their feud arguing on the pitch. Things went wrong until on the way to the locker room the Frenchman hit the Dutchman in the cheekbone.
Aouate against Munua
Deportivo Coruna
The story that emerged was that both Deportivo de la Coruña goalkeepers came to blows at the end of a training session in the 2007-2008 season. The coach punished them for the next game and chose a goalkeeper from the subsidiary as the starter.
Bellamy against Riise
Liverpool
In this case, there is no fight… for so little. Both footballers were involved in leaving the party and after an argument Bellamy threatened Riise with a golf club.
Gravesen against Robinho
real Madrid
During a training session in Madrid, Gravesen outdid himself in a tackle on the Brazilian, who reacted poorly. The incident escalated and the two players ended up separating after bumping into each other.
Balotelli against Boateng
City of Manchester
The scene is typical of a wrestling match. In 2010 Jerome Boateng and Mario Balotelli had a heated fight during training and had to part ways before things got worse.
Ljungberg vs. Mellberg
Sweden
Olof Mellberg and Fredrik Ljungberg lost their hands during training. The defense turned on the midfielder, who lost his heat. The photos show how the two ended up before being separated by their companions.
Barton vs. Dabo
City of Manchester
Joey Barton ended up in hospital after his clash with Ousmane Dabo in City training. A hard tackle in the session triggered the conflict, which was resolved by punches and Barton with bruises on his head and a detached retina.
Adebayor against Toure
City of Manchester
I don’t know what ManCity will get, but sparks are flying in their training camps, like between Adebayor and Touré. Both exchanged a few blows after the disagreement.
