Ex-Manchester City man Sane, 28, attempted to grab it from his grasp, but Bjelica whipped it away.

The manager then lost control of it, before he proceeded to thrust his hand into the Bayern man’s face.

The moment sparked chaos on the sideline as backroom staff pulled the pair apart.

And Bjelica was rightly dismissed for his shocking actions as those watching were left astonished.

Sane was given a yellow card for his part in the altercation.

Reacting on social media, one person said: “He deserves a long ban. That’s bad.”

Another added: “Why would he do that?”

A third replied: “Surprised Sane is still standing. Some force in that.”

While a fourth simply responded: “That’s crazy.”

Bjelica now faces the prospect of a lengthy ban following the violent act – which came moments after his side appealed for a penalty that was not awarded.
