Leroy Sane has been compared to Thierry Henry after he came on to score a spectacular free kick as 10-man Manchester City came from behind to beat Schalke 3-2 on Wednesday.
The German winger replaced Sergio Aguero with 12 minutes left in the second half before he equalised with a superbly hit free kick to start the visitors' late comeback.
Sane continued to dazzle during his short cameo as he caused problems for his former employers before Raheem Sterling burst through to score the winning goal in the first leg of the last 16 clash.
