70 minutes into the match it hadn't been the homecoming that Sane was expecting ahead of his return to Gelsenkirchen.
Schalke were 2-1 up against a disappointing 10-man Manchester City side, with Sane sitting on the bench as an unused substitute.
Suddenly the German forward was introduced after 78 minutes, replacing City's main goal threat in Sergio Aguero.
Just seven minutes later, Sane stepped up to take a free-kick and... wow. Just wow.
The absolute swazz on that!
Football fans were instantly drooling over the hit on social media.
Manchester City completed their comeback with a 90th minute winner thanks to Raheem Sterling and go into the second leg at the Etihad Stadium with a 3-2 advantage.
