• Bayern Munich winger Leroy Sane has explained how he feels ahead of his side's Champions League tie
• The Bundesliga giants have the daunting task of taking on Paris Saint-Germain in the round-of-16
• The German international has made six goal contributions in Bayern's run to the knockout stage

Leroy Sane has opened up about coming face-to-face with Paris Saint-Germain's much vaunted attacking trident.

Sane, formerly of Manchester City, will be one of the key men Bayern Munich will be banking their hopes on when they play as guests to PSG in the Champions League round-of-16 tie.

The 27-year-old has been Julian Nagelsmann's goal-getter in Europe's premier club competition, scoring four times and contributing with two assists.

However, the German international will not be the only dangerous man on the field, with PSG posing a terrifying response to Sane's threat in Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar.

Mbappe, who has made a miraculous return from injury, is the competition's joint top scorer with seven goals, while Neymar and Messi have a combined six goals.

Ahead of Bayern's blockbuster last-16 clash, Sane spoke about matching up against the vaunted PSG trio.

“PSG has exceptional players,” Sane told Bayern Munich’s official website.

“I remember when I was younger and couldn’t believe I was suddenly playing against players of this calibre. Previously I had only seen them on the PlayStation or on television, and all of a sudden, I found myself next to them in the field.”
