German international of Ghanaian descent Jerome Boateng was involved in training grounds bast up with his Bayern Munich team-mate Leon Goretzka on Wednesday afternoon.

Boateng and Goretzka came to blows during Bayern Munich’s training session after Goretzka went into a challenge and fouled Boateng away from the ball, which led to the defender reacting and hitting the midfielder with a hand to the face.

Robert Lewandowski was then the first to step in and pull Boateng away, with Flick then intervening and speaking to Boateng.

Thomas Muller also tried to calm down Goretzka and talk to him, however Goretzka opted to ignore him and gave Muller an inappropriate gesture, much to the forward’s dismay.

Despite this, Goretzka posted a photo alongside Boateng on Twitter in an attempt to clarify things whilst jokingly making a fist.
