On Saturday night, Bayern Munich did not appear to be the top team in Germany. Leroy Sane could only observe as his team conceded three goals against Bayer Leverkusen. A lackluster performance was epitomized by a poorly conceded goal in the final minutes. Many pointed blame at Sane, who ventured into the opposition’s post, leaving his own goal unattended.
In a futile attempt to cover for his captain, Sane hurried towards his team’s goal. However, he could only watch helplessly as the shot found the back of the net. His frustration was captured on camera as he chose to punch the camera set up inside the goalpost. Bayern stars had a difficult night against Leverkusen, and Sane expressed his anger in his post-match interview.
Sane himself had an average performance compared to his usual standards. The German winger was one of the standout players for his team on a night where they managed to have just one shot on target in the entire 90 minutes.
To add to Bayern’s humiliation, Bayern loanee scored against his parent club, which did not receive a warm response from boss Thomas Tuchel. Tuchel had wanted the player to not play against them, following the rule in the Premier League.
Leroy Sane did not register any shots on goal against Bayer Leverkusen. However, he did take one shot that hit the target, although it was aimed at the camera placed inside the Bayern goal. Some fans found humor in Sane finding the target, even if it was at the end of the game. Others recalled the altercation between Leroy Sane and last season and labeled the video’s caption as Sane’s point of view.
Some, however, viewed Sane’s reaction as a positive sign of his passion and care for the team’s loss. As always, netizens saw this as the next viral meme that would dominate football Twitter. Bayern Munich has developed a habit of venting their frustration on FC Barcelona, as seen in previous seasons.
He thought it was Mane 😂
Hopefully, he paid for it.
At least he shows emotions. It shows how much he cares.
What the heck 😭
I hope Barca doesn’t have to pay for this 😭

A Barca fan expressed hope that their club would not have to suffer the consequences of this loss in the near future. Some laughed at the Bayern players’ response to the loss and questioned whether this group of players had not won the Bundesliga in several years. Bayern Munich is now five points behind Xabi Alonso and his team, giving fans more reason to anticipate a new champion at the end of the season.
