He was undoubtedly one of the protagonists of the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid Leroy Sané, author of the provisional 1-1 which relaunched the ambitions of the Bavarian team at the Allianz Arena. The German winger’s goal was reminiscent of Arjen Robben’s play and the Dutchman praised the German winger’s play: “he knows exactly how to make that play: run fast, cut towards the center and shoot into the corner.
Leroy did it perfectly. It was a really great goal.” A goal that came after a change of direction by Konrad Laimer, who intelligently let Thomas Müller pass to favor Sané’s one-on-one against Ferland Mendy. The former Manchester City player came on into the area at supersonic speed and kicked a shot to the near post, which Lunin was unable to do anything about.
The difference with the “Robben goal” was precisely this: the Dutchman usually kicked to the far post, a conclusion that the Ukrainian goalkeeper probably also expected. Sané will be one of the stars of Julian Nagelsmann’s Germany at the European Championships, even if he will have to compete with players of the caliber of Florian Wirtz and Jamal Musiala.
