German winger Sane was substituted in the second half of Bayern Munich's encounter against the Premier League champions by his Senegalese teammate.
Before Sane entered the field, the two players said a short hello on the touchline, but many people saw their high-five.
After his team's 3-0 loss to City in the first leg of their Champions League quarterfinal at the Etihad, Sane allegedly hit a teammate in the face, according to reports.
The Bundesliga's top clubs then benched him for Bayern's 1-1 draw with Hoffenheim and fined him more than £250,000 for hitting teammate Sane.
Sane had a bloodied lip as a result of the confrontation and received what is thought to be the biggest fine in Bayern history.
It seems that the two got along well since they were both seen participating in the team's practice on Thursday of last week.
The club gave Mane a one-game suspension, which he has already completed, before allowing him to rejoin the team in time for their encounter against Man City.
Joshua Kimmich's penalty offset Erling Haaland's goal early in the second half to keep Bayern and Man City tied at 1 in the second leg.
Due to Pep Guardiola's team's easy victory in the first leg, the outcome eliminated the German team from the tournament.
