Mane still abiding to his religion rules; not holding the beer is one of the best moments you’ll see. In Bayern Munich Club, it’s an annual tradition. #mane #sadiomane #BayernMunich pic.twitter.com/vD5qp658zi

The players refrained from posing with the alcoholic beverage as it goes against Islamic religious beliefs.
