It was his first 90 minutes under Pep Guardiola this season - having been left out of the squad against Newcastle before the international break - but Sane says he is patiently waiting for his chance.
"We [Sane and Guardiola] both know what I have to do. I know what he expects from me. I don't know about these rumours that everyone was talking about, I was thinking 'relax'," he added.
"I was just focused and trained hard to show him and I know when he will give me the time to play from the beginning and I want to be there when it is time."
