Bayern Munich: Takeaways from narrow Der Klassiker victory
Leroy Sane has successfully integrated into Bayern’s set up
Saturday was yet another good day for Bayern’s expensive summer signing. Leroy Sane came off the bench to add more spark to the attack. He managed to do it convincingly by scoring another goal at the end of the game to seal three points for Rekordmeister.
The German winger has fit the system of Die Roten seamlessly despite being out for three weeks due to a knee injury. He is providing everything that Bayern needs from a winger. Sane can come inside and play the incisive pass or curl it past the goalkeeper. He can also provide the width and stretch the opposition defense to create openings for his teammates.
