Mobbed by his Manchester City teammates after scoring a sublime free kick, Leroy Sané held out his left hand in apology to the Schalke fans who once adored him but now had been stunned into silence.
Sané’s 85th-minute goal against his former club gave City, the defending English champions, an equalizer just when it looked like they had run out of ideas in their Champions League match on Wednesday. But, it turned out, the visitors weren’t done.
Five minutes later, Raheem Sterling latched onto a long ball forward from goalkeeper Ederson and calmly finished into the bottom corner to earn City a 3-2 win over Schalke in the first leg of its round of 16 match in Gelsenkirchen.
