The German international netted an early opener at West Brom and then, after the hosts had drawn level, Sane struck a brilliant winner late on to send Pep Guardiola’s men into the fourth round.
City will now play Wolves at home in the last 16 and having climbed to the top of the Premier League, opened with a flourish in the Champions League and with the FA Cup still to come, Guardiola’s side are firing on all cylinders.
And Sane says the chance to lift silverware is the main motivation for everyone at the Club, no matter what competition they are in.
“Every player wants to win everything. It’s a dream for us all and everyone needs this motivation to win every single game,” said Sane.
“It doesn’t matter what competition we are in, we want to win.”
With City making a number of changes for the trip to the Hawthorns, Sane produced a fine all-round display to back up his two goals.
And he said the fierce competition for places at City was driving every player on to produce their best.
“Every player wants to play in the first 11. I think it’s a more motivation for everyone to show the coach that they want to play,” Sane added,
“We could have scored more goals in the first half as we had enough chances to make the game a bit quieter.
“In the second half we didn’t have as good a contact with the ball and after this they played a lot of long balls and we are lucky they didn’t score near the end.”
