FC Bayern Munich: Leroy Sané explains throwing a bottle

First he scored the important 2:0, after being substituted a drinking bottle across the coaching zone. What was going on? With a smile on his lips, Leroy Sané (26) moved into the mixed zone following the 2-0 victory of his FC Bayern Munich against FC Barcelona.

“I scored a goal but didn’t play a good game. I’d rather play a good game. I want to play better. That’s why the bottle suffered,” said Sané, who was substituted for Mathys Tel in the 80th minute. “I wasn’t upset about the substitution. I was a bit tired at the end. The coach saw that too.”

Amazing statements, Sané was actually one of the best at FC Bayern in the 2-0 win against FC Barcelona. In the past few weeks he has been convincing in rows: in the 2-0 win at Inter Milan, Sané advanced to the match winner with a goal and an assist, after ten competitive games he already has eight scorer points.

Against Barcelona, Sané started differently than last time on the right side, the offensive quartet was completed by Sadio Mané, Thomas Müller and Jamal Musiala. “In the first half we didn’t do much to help the defense in offense. We didn’t break free, didn’t hold the ball well, didn’t play brave enough. That gave us easy chances to score,” criticized Sané. “Lucas (Hernández) and Upa (Dayot Upamecano) played outstandingly and won almost every duel. We attackers have to say: Thanks to the defence.”

Individual review: Grade 5 for two Bayern stars – Lewy becomes a death chance

1/33

FC Bayern wins the reunion with Robert Lewandowski against FC Barcelona 2-0 (0-0) and thanks the mercy of his ex-striker. At FCB, a joker is convincing, at FC Barcelona there are many disappointments. The notes of the game.

2/33

FC BAYERN – MANUEL NEUER: Strong parade in the 10th minute. Poor opening, which almost led to Lewandowski’s chance in the 14th minute. Strong save against Lewandowski in the 19. Then calmed down again. Grade: 3.5.

3/33

BENJAMIN PAVARD: went down after a violent collision with Alonso in the 6th minute, was dazed, initially continued. Had trouble with Dembélé, but had to go down after 20 minutes with a suspected concussion. Without rating

4/33

DAYOT UPAMECANO: Not surprisingly, for everyone who had listened to Julian Nagelsmann on Monday, he was preferred to the nominal defense chief Matthijs de Ligt. Lewandowski took the ball away cleanly a few times. Strong performance. Grade: 2.

5/33

LUCAS HERNANDEZ: Had a lot to do against Lewandowski, didn’t always win the duel and lost a few balls. But then made it 1-0 with a nice powerful header. Injured himself in the final seconds of the game. Note 3.

6/33

ALPHONSO DAVIES: By far the best Bayer in the first half. Strong advances under pressure, almost always winners against Raphinha. The only Bavarian who made the game wide. Luckily his kick against Dembélé didn’t result in a penalty. Grade: 2.5.

7/33

JOSHUA KIMMICH: At first I had to help out a lot at the back. Catched some balls. But it also didn’t manage to give Bayern the sovereignty over the center that Nagelsmann desired. His corner before the 1:0 successfully shifted the statics of the game. Note 3.

8/33

MARCEL SABITZER: No chance against Lewandowski’s pressing, bad loss of ball against Dembélé, too late with a tackle and consequently yellow – and all in 15 minutes. It didn’t get any better, missed the best chance in the first half. grade: 5

9/33

LEROY SANE: For a long time the only one from Bayern’s offensive quartet to take part in the game against the ball. So bit into the game and rewarded himself with his nice run and hit to 2:0. Angry about his substitution. Grade: 2.

10/33

JAMAL MUSIALA: A couple of sweet passes from the closest cover, a couple of nice actions, but nothing really compelling. Until he then prepared the 2-0 with one of his beautiful passes. Grade: 2.5.

11/33

SADIO MANE: Setting up the former Liverpool man as a left winger didn’t seem such a bad idea from Nagelsmann – but Mané achieved little if anything. No shot on goal, no shot on goal, prevented Thomas Müller from finishing once. grade: 5

12/33

THOMAS MÜLLER. Again set up as a nominal striker. A little more in the game than against Stuttgart, but it will be remembered how he was prevented from completing by Mané. As a result, a little hesitant in front of the gate. Good game openings. grade: 4

13/33

NOUSSAIR MAZRAOUI: Came for the injured Pavard, worked so resolutely that Dembélé kept moving to the left. Also increased in the game in the second half. Flashed for the first time why Bayern got him. Grade: 2.5

14/33

LEON GORETZKA: Came in for the weak Sabitzer after the break, introduced himself with a dangerous long-range shot and stayed strong. A performance like an announcement to Nagelsmann and Sabitzer. Grade: 2.5.

15/33

SERGE GNABRY: Saved Mané in the 70th minute. He also failed to score a goal. grade 4

16/33

MATHYS TEL: His substitution gave Leroy Sané the well-deserved ovations of the audience. At least a shot on goal. No rating.

17/33

RYAN GRAVENBERCH: Was allowed to play for Musiala in the last few minutes. Of course, I couldn’t put a stamp on the game anymore. No rating.

18/33

FC BARCELONA – MARC-ANDRE TER STEGEN: The German was hardly employed in the first half, then strong against Goretzka in the 50th minute, although he didn’t see the ball for a long time. Unhappy at 0:1, but not at fault. At 0: 2 too. Grade: 3.5.

19/33

JULES KOUNDE: The regular central defender, like he did twice in the league on the right side, but not with the absolute urge to go on the offensive. At 0:2 he lets Sane go and is partly to blame. grade: 4

20/33

RONALD ARAUJO: Took over the part next to Andreas Christensen in central defense and was clearly the more offensive of the duo. Completely disoriented at 0:2, started the wrong way and opened the way for Sane. Grade: 4.5.

21/33

ANDREAS CHRISTENSEN: Even though he was the more defensive central defender, he moved up a lot to help build up. Then overrun a few times and overwhelmed in the second half. Made room for Garcia in the 70th. grade: 4

22/33

MARCOS ALONSO: Strange play by the Spaniard, who actually had Leroy Sane well under control in the first round, but then couldn’t grab his opponent after the break because he dared to make many excursions. grade: 4

23/33

SERGIO BUSQUETS: Like Gavi and Pedri’s dad, who let his boys play on the soccer field while he holds their ice cream. But if Bayern made faster, he too got into trouble. So also with 0:2. grade: 4

24/33

GAVI: There were phases during the first half when you saw the multiple Ballon D’Or winners of the next few years. The preparation in the 18th minute for Lewandowski was outstanding. But in the second half he lost and went down. Note 3.

25/33

PEDRI: He has to explain how he couldn’t take the chance in the 63rd. He doesn’t play at a high tempo, almost leisurely, but his ball handling is world class. He needs to be more effective, even with a big chance in the 8th minute. Note 3.

26/33

RAPHINHA: If he makes it 1-0 shortly after the break, it’s a different game. Even before the break with a dangerous conclusion. But it was patchwork rather than larger sequences of its class. Properly replaced. Grade: 4.5.

27/33

OUSMANE DEMBELE: Not as flashy and explosive as in the league games, even if he had his moments of genius. The Frenchman also changed sides but was then worked hard by Mazraoui and then went over again. Grade: 4.5.

28/33

ROBERT LEWANDOWSKI: Five shots on goal alone before the break and chances that he usually makes in his sleep. Especially in the 18th minute. At 0:1 he sails past the ball and has a small share of the blame. That depresses the rating. grade: 4

29/33

FERRAN TORRES: Raphinha in from the 61st minute, but with no influence on the game – except for a good chance in the 87th, it wasn’t easy to influence because Barca was out of breath. grade: 4

30/33

FRENKIE DE JONG: Gavi came into play from the 61st minute and made a couple of really good passes, but they were hardly used. Grade: 3.5.

31/33

ERIC GARCIA: Came in for Andreas Christensen in the 70th minute, maybe to increase the pass intensity again. Each of his passes arrived, but he no longer had the blatant resistance. Grade: 3.5.

32/33

FRANCK KESSIE: He came on for Busquets in the 80th minute. Without abnormalities. No rating.

33/33

ANSU FATI: Used the ten minutes for a lot of entertainment and great dribbling. He needs to play more often, Mr Xavi. No rating.

FC Bayern: Sané on the interaction with Musiala

Sports director Hasan Salihamidzic then praised Sané for his “self-critical” attitude and said: “I spoke to him: he was angry with himself and a little bit with everyone because we didn’t play well in the first half.”

In fact, Barcelona had several good chances to take the lead, mainly through Robert Lewandowski. The hosts were also lucky when a penalty was not awarded after Alphonso Davies fouled Ousmane Dembélé. Shortly after the break, FC Bayern decided the game with a double strike from Hernández and Sané. “We played better in the second half,” said Sané.

The highlight was his remarkable goal to make it 2-0 after a great solo run, prepared by Musiala. “We both get along very well. Off the pitch but also on the pitch. We have a similar style of play,” said Sané.
