'Very disrespectful!' - Bayern Munich legend slams Leroy Sane for angry shove on match official as winger goes viral after Bochum defeat

Bundesliga

Bayern Munich

Mainz 05

Bochum

Union Berlin

<p>During Bayern's defeat to Bochum at the weekend, Vincent Kompany shuffled his pack and substituted Sane just after the hour mark, introducing Michael Olise as his replacement. As the substitution was taking place, fourth official Tom Bauer raised his arm while standing in Sane's way, and the former Manchester City winger dismissively pushed it away, to Bauer's shock.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="fr" dir="ltr">Leroy Sané dans ses œuvres !  <a href="https://t.co/ZONO0sAgOJ">pic.twitter.com/ZONO0sAgOJ</a></p>— Lassana Camara (@mauritaniefoot) <a href="https://twitter.com/mauritaniefoot/status/1898503121992585234?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 8, 2025</a></blockquote>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Now, Sane has been criticised for his behaviour, with former Germany international Stefan Effenberg claiming he was "very disrespectful". It is unclear if there will be any further sanctions against the winger, but he was not punished by the referee.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Effenberg called Sane "very disrespectful" and told <a href="https://en.nogomania.com/read/Leroy-Sane-sparks-outrage-with-incident-involving-referee-in-Bochum-loss/#goog_rewarded" target="_blank"><em>STAHLWERK Doppelpass</em></a>: "You can often tell from a player's body language whether they feel comfortable. And you can see that with Sane. This is not about the match itself but about his overall situation."</p>

WHAT EFFENBERG SAID

<p>Bayern face Bayer Leverkusen in an all-German Champions League tie on Tuesday evening. The Bavarians lead 3-0 from the first leg on home soil.</p>
