Player to watch – Leroy Sane

Leroy Sane was at his explosive best for Bayern Munich in midweek when he fired home two goals in Die Roten’s convincing display against Hoffenheim.

Sane has so much quality

When he’s fully focussed, Leroy Sane is still one of the most devastating attackers in European football and if the 29-year-old is on top of his game on Saturday, he could drag Bayern Munich to victory again.
