Superman had kryptonite, Dracula had garlic, but now we know Leroy Sane’s weakness.
The Manchester City new boy is absolutely shit scared of spiders.
Sane set the Bundesliga on fire last season in his breakthrough season at Schalke, scoring nine in 42, and for the German national team who reached the semi final of Euro 2016.
While he’s cool, calm and deadly in front of goal, put a spider anywhere near him and he’s leaping about like yer maw when one gets stuck in the bath at home.
How do we know? Well as the £37m signing completed his move to the blue half of Manchester, someone found a vine from last year of former Chelsea forward Franco Di Santo pulling a cruel prank on the 20-year-old.
Di Santo obviously spotted a large, and probably hairy, spider crawling about on the pitch after their 5-0 drubbing of Duisburg in the German Cup.
Then for some reason he decided it would be fucking hilarious to put it down the back of Sane’s shirt (which it was to be fair).
As soon as he posted the eight-legged creature down his shirt you could tell the German international wasn’t enjoying it.
His face was a picture of sheer horror that it was scrabbling about on his skin. obviously dancing about didn’t really help
So as quick as a flash the shirt came off completely…
We hope you got him back for that Sane…
