Leroy Sane may be fighting for his future at Bayern Munich, but his blistering pace against Bayer Leverkusen showed he still has plenty to offer.
Despite starting on the bench, the 29-year-old winger made an instant impact after replacing Kingsley Coman in the 68th minute. Wasting no time, he hit a top speed of 33.5 km/h during his first sprint—making him the fastest player on the pitch. However, he fell just 0.4 km/h short of the Bundesliga’s all-time record.
Leverkusen’s Dutch-Ghanaian defender Jeremie Frimpong, known for his own speed, clocked in at 33.9 km/h, making the battle on the wings even more electrifying.
Sane has endured a challenging season following summer surgery, struggling to rediscover his best form. With his contract situation at Bayern uncertain, every performance matters as he looks to prove he still belongs at the club.
So far in the Bundesliga, Sane has made 18 appearances, scoring six goals and providing two assists—numbers he will aim to improve as the season progresses.
