Leroy Sané thought better of it.
It is unclear whether he made the decision of his own accord or was persuaded to return to the interior.
In any case, the national player reappeared from the catacombs after his substitution and sat with a gloomy face on the stands behind the FC Bayern exchange bench.
Before that, the 24-year-old, who moved from Manchester City to Munich as a king's transfer for 45 million euros in the summer, had experienced what is commonly referred to as the maximum penalty in football: coach Hanis Flick moved Sané in a 2-1 win against Bayer Leverkusen after 32 Minutes and took him off again 32 minutes later.
It is the temporary low for Sané at Bayern.
Since the summer he has been struggling to get into the team and the club.
The numbers prove he has so far done it in vain.
Sané has played eleven Bundesliga games for Bayern, he was not allowed to complete any of the full distance.
Flick switched him off (six times) and five times every time he was in the starting XI.

Lothar Matthäus made a devastating verdict on “Sky” about Sané's previous time at Bayern.
“This is not a player who strengthens Bayern.
He makes a lot of mistakes on the defensive and often watches instead of cooperating.
You don't expect him to score three goals every game, but you expect passion.
And you don't see them, ”said Matthew.
"That is still far from Bayern Munich"
Former Bayern player Mehmet Scholl doesn't see it as drastic, but also believes that Sané is far from arriving at Munich.
"What is obviously difficult for him to understand this jersey and this club," said Scholl at "Bild Live". Sané has an attitude on the pitch that is difficult: "He's not a berserk like Müller or Kimmich, up and down. The body language, the gestures, the facial expressions, the way in which he leads duels - that is still far from Bayern Munich. "
Sané came to Munich in the summer with the mortgage of a healed cruciate ligament rupture and fought for connection on the field.
A capsular injury in his knee threw him back last September.
But the fast winger was fit lately, but was still only second choice in Flick's plans.

After the victory in Leverkusen, Flick declared the substitution of Sané.
The 55-year-old was pretty sober: “I wanted to bring Musiala.
Then there are only a few players I can replace: Müller, Gnabry and Sané.
Thomas is indispensable for us, Serge improved enormously in the second half.
So there was only the Leroy option.
It's about the team being successful.
Since the individual has to back off.
He will take it. "
“It is clear that the player is not happy when he is taken down after being substituted on.
The good Lord gave him incredible talents.
He's not really infected with the Bayern gene yet.
He can have a good future at Bayern.
He has to adapt his character to FC Bayern, "said Bayern's CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge at" Sport 1 ".
Müller consoles Sané after the game
The indispensable Müller was able to understand that it is far more emotional to be taken off the seat after a substitution.
He hugged Sané after the final whistle and tried to comfort him.
“I told him not to take frustration with him, but motivation.
It's a tough number, of course.
But he's working hard to break the knot.
It won't be long before we hear completely different things about Leroy. "

Sané himself believes that too. He knows that his first few months at Bayern were not ideal.
“I feel the full trust of the team and I feel really good at FC Bayern.
I am my biggest critic myself and I know how to classify the fact that I was recently unable to call up my capabilities.
But that will change, ”said Sané to“ Bild ”.
He expressed himself diplomatically about the substitution: “Above all else is the joy that we were able to win this important game in the end.
We are now doing very well in all competitions.
The substitution came as a surprise to me at first - I didn't know that.
But that also happens once.
The team was by my side right after the final whistle, and we were all happy about the three points. "
