Sane reflects on 'difficult' first year at Bayern Munich as he eyes Euro 2020 'dream' with Germany

The German winger has admitted that he has fallen short of the standards expected of him since moving to Allianz Arena from Manchester City

Leroy Sane has reflected on his "difficult" first year at Bayern Munich, admitting he knows that he did not play an "outstanding season", and is now looking forward to Euro 2020.

Sane completed a €60 million (£52m/$73m) switch to Bayern from Manchester City last summer, bringing to an end a long-running transfer saga that had stretched on longer than expected due to his battle to recover from a cruciate knee ligament injury.

The 25-year-old has since become a Bundesliga champion at Allianz Arena, but has only shown flashes of the form which saw him emerge as one of the top wingers in Europe at Etihad Stadium.
