XHe came off the bench in all three of their group matches, including the final 1-1 draw with Switzerland, to help them finish top.
Sane will now be desperate to add to his 13-goal international haul when Germany face Denmark in the last-16 on Saturday.
Sane plays his club football at Bayern Munich and has scored 29 times in 123 Bundesliga appearances since joining them in 2020.
But, prior to that, he enjoyed a four-year spell at Manchester City, winning two Premier League titles, an FA Cup and three League Cups.
One of Sane’s finest moments came when he scored in a 5-3 Champions League win over Monaco – although the Cityzens ended up eventually losing the tie on aggregate.
The ex-Schalke star got a tattoo to commemorate the strike, but now wishes he hadn’t.
Speaking to Der Spiegel, Sane said: “As I said, I was young. Today I would make a different decision.
“I was someone who had to run into the wall at least once, even if it hurt, in order to learn from it, especially at a young age.”

Sane hit the headlines when he revealed the artwork back in 2017 – something he admits took him by surprise.
He said: “I was surprised that this topic was so big in the media, I was still a real youngster.
Who is Euro 2024's sexiest star?
EURO 2024 has something for everyone from stunning goals, thrilling matches… and the continent’s biggest hunks, writes Jack Figg.
Several stars have lit up the group stages with their skills on the pitch – but others are also catching the eye for their looks.

Thankfully AI boffins have carried out an analysis on the facial attractiveness of all players at the tournament.
And it’s bad news for Gareth Southgate’s Three Lions who are the fourth UGLIEST in the competition – one place below Scotland.
In fact it’s England’s group rivals Serbia who have fans swooning the most – boasting an average score of 77.90/100 with defender Strahinja Pavlovic deemed their most attractive.
While Turkey defender Mert Muldur has been ranked as the tournament’s BEST-LOOKING player.
But who is England’s sexiest star, and who makes the Euros’ hunkiest XI? Read our full story.
“In Germany there were much more important players than me, and yet this tattoo was still being debated.
“Friends have told me that too: ‘Leroy, some people say that you come across as really arrogant.’ I can even understand that a little bit.
“When I’m in public, I tend to stay aloof. I don’t want to reveal too much about myself.
“That can come across wrongly. It’s not intentional. And I’m not like that either.”
Sane left the Etihad in 2020 to return to his homeland.
He has since won the Bundesliga three times as well as the Fifa Club World Cup, Uefa Super Cup and three German Super Cups.
