As Bayern Munich and Barcelona prepare to face battle, Sadio Mane has playfully advised his teammate Thomas Muller not to mistake and pass to former mate, Robert Lewandowski.
On Tuesday night, the two teams square off in the Champions League with each of them hoping to maintain their undefeated starts to the season. On the opening day of play, defending champions Bayern of Germany defeated Inter Milan of Serie A 2-0, while Barcelona crushed Viktoria Plzen 5-1.
For Polish striker Robert Lewandowski, the much-anticipated matchup at the Allianz Arena will be an emotional occasion.
He returns to Bavaria for the first time since leaving Bayern for the Nou Camp earlier this summer.
The 30-year-old Senegalese sent Muller a humorous message warning him not to unconsciously pass the ball to Lewandowski out of habit.
Given the strong, frequently psychic bond Muller developed with Lewandowski, it will be an odd fixture for him. The pair won the Champions League, three German cups, and eight Bundesliga championships in their eight years of teamwork.
