Thomas Tuchel says Bayern Munich squandered the chance to use Sadio Mane's punch on Leroy Sane as a POSITIVE as the forward returns to the squad for Manchester City tie following one-game suspension

Thomas Tuchel has claimed Bayern Munich squandered the chance to use Sadio Mane's punch on Leroy Sane after last week's defeat to Manchester City as positive energy.

The former Liverpool forward was suspended for the weekend's clash with Hoffenheim after hitting his team-mate in the face, leaving him with a busted lip, following the 3-0 Champions League quarter-final first leg defeat.

Pep Guardiola claimed in the days after that Tuchel and his Bayern Munich players could use it as positive energy moving forward, saying teams need 'conflict' to make them better.
