Thomas Tuchel's treatment of Sadio Mane spoke volumes during dramatic Bayern Munich win

Bayern Munich won the Bundesliga title in dramatic fashion on Saturday - all while out-of-favour forward Sadio Mane watched from the bench.

Mane, 30, has been tipped for the exit door after a series of low points in Bavaria such as being suspended by the club for allegedly punching team-mate Leroy Sane during a heated dressing-room row. Struggling for form under both Julian Nagelsmann and Thomas Tuchel, the ex- Liverpool hero has failed to show the kind of sensational form that was often on display over six years at Anfield.

On Saturday, Mane didn't even get the chance to strut his stuff, as Bayern boss Tuchel opted against bringing the 30-year-old on, despite the German giants chasing a goal in the dying embers. After opponent Koln's equaliser in the 81st minute, Bayern had little time find a winner in order to beat Borussia Dortmund - who remarkably only drew 2-2 at home to Mainz - to the title.
