Bayern Munich winger Leroy Sane took matters into his own hands in Tuesday's Champions League semifinal against Real Madrid.
The first-leg encounter was going in Real Madrid's favor before the German winger's powerful strike inspired Bayern Munich's comeback, with Harry Kane's penalty moments later putting them in front 2-1.
Sane initially brought the hosts level with a tremendous solo display that he capped off with a powerful strike past Andriy Lunin after dribbling through Madrid's defense.
