Bayern Munich have posed for their traditional Oktoberfest photoshoot by raising a pint of Paulaner beer, but summer signing Sadio Mane opted against joining in with his team-mates due to his religious beliefs.
The former Liverpool winger is a practicing Muslim, and therefore abstains from drinking alcohol.
Although he did look a little awkward at the event, Mane still took his place in the front row alongside the rest of the squad dressed in Lederhosen, and he has received plenty of praise from fans on social media for not being pressured into holding a beer and remaining true to his religion.
'No matter the situation, Sadio Mane never forgets his religion,' one supporter wrote.
'Love it by Sadio Mane,' another fan posted on Twitter.
'Very inspiring. Stay true to what you believe,' another fan added.
This is not the first time that Mane's religious beliefs have shone through as he also respectfully asked Takumi Minamino to put a bottle of champagne down earlier this year when the pair were celebrating Liverpool's Carabao Cup final win against Chelsea.
Minamino immediately put the bottle down at his team-mate's request, and the duo continued to celebrate with the rest of the team.
Eagle-eyed fans noticed that Mane was not the only Bayern player not holding a beer as Noussair Mazraoui also chose to pose without alcohol.
Like Mane, Mazraoui is a practicing Muslim, and he has also been applauded for his stance by fans.
'Mane and Mazraoui, give it up for these guys,' one fan posted on Twitter.
'Muslims don't mess around with their beliefs man! You gotta respect it!' another supporter added.
Mane and Mazraoui have also made positive impressions on he pitch since arriving earlier this summer, helping Bayern pick up 10 points from their opening four league games to move top of the Bundesliga table.

Thanks for the reply. I'm a Christian!. Well truly I stick stronger to my religion, but also tries not to disrepect other religion as well!. But as an Athiest, I also wish to know how you people deal with the spiritual matters of a persons' life.
Life instead of "like" I made some spelling mistake typing errors.

I just have no spiritual like, I deal with the physical like, what I see and know and not what I don't see. What is don't see or know is have to be believed by faith. Faith is not a fact, it is a belief you can't prove empirically. if I tell me to prove God with evidence, it'll be difficult because nobody has seen any spirit. Thanks.

If you practice Hindu, it should be your only truth and all the rest are FAKE. I am not Religious not against RELIGION though. It's people's choice.

What's wrong with alcohol, too much of it is the problem, and if you refused to post with alcohol, it's the proceed from alcohol that is used to pay their salaries. Most of these Religious people who made us believed that they don't drink alcohol, takes it secretly behind closed doors.
If they take it secretly it's between them and God and you need to know that everyone have a right to chose what he want to associate with cos i have seen many Christian's who don't take alcohol so what are you going to say about that?

double standard, Allah promises plenty if alcohol in janna yet same Allah prohibits you from taking it. also alcohol is one of the miracles from Allah. just nonsense contradicting cult.
So what are you going to say about Christian's who don't takes alcohol and also dress like Muslims? pls have some sense small it's not everything that you will show your ignorance to, you need to respect other people's religious beliefs if you are truly practicing what you want advocate.

There's nothing special about being atheist. Just not believing in any of the Religious gods. All claim their RELIGION is the only truth meaning everyone is going to another person's hell. The Quran in chapter 5:72 said anybody that believed jesus is God or the son of God would perish in hell and the Christian Bible said anyone who didn't accept jesus would not inherit the kingdom of God. Other religions numbering over 2000 also BELIEVED theirs is the only truth, that's why I don't have time for all those nónsense. You get it.
Jesus is God, The King of kings, He is the Living God. So You are nonsense
