Mendy and Mane are now heading off to the African Cup of Nations.
An action-packed match started with Mane receiving the fastest recorded booking in Premier League history.
A long ball was played out to Mane on the left who caught Azpilicueta while they both went to meet it.
Mane received a yellow card though Azpilicueta said after the game that it was a 'clear red,' while Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel was left stunned after claiming that VAR did not check the incident.
Mendy was also asked for his opinion after the game on whether his international teammate should have been given his marching orders.
He told RMC Sport: 'Sadio is my brother, my compatriot. But he should not have stayed on the pitch after one minute.'
Despite his comments, it was all smiles for the pair as Mendy shared a picture on Instagram of the pair heading off to the African Cup of Nations which takes place in Cameroon.
They will go from opponents to teammates with Senegal's first match taking place on January 10 against Zimbabwe.
