Jamal Musiala

It is the stuff of management dreams - a blank cheque to build the most exciting young starting XI in world football. But that is exactly what new BBC Sounds podcast Wunderkids is offering, in fantasy form at least, over its 11 episodes. The first eight are available to listen to now.

The international break is turning out to be a productive one for Bayern Munich midfielder Jamal Musiala. The teenager has been lately praised for his versatility at the club level, so it was always going to be interesting to see how he translates those qualities to the German national team.

Since Phil Foden’s breathtaking 2020/21 season catapulted his name amongst the best youngsters in world football, Manchester City’s academy has started to get the credit it has long deserved. The rise of the ‘Stockport Iniesta’ has been followed by further academy graduates such as Cole Palmer and James...

The muscle injury to Corentin Tolisso against Greuther Furth on Sunday has once again limited options for Julian Nagelsmann in the central midfield at Bayern Munich. The German coach will have to tweak the system or explore other options in the midfield for the upcoming games in the Bundesliga and Champions League.

One of the main things on the to-do list for Julian Nagelsmann when he came to Bayern Munich was getting the best out of Leroy Sane. The young German forward had struggled to show his qualities in the debut season and often lacked consistency. Nagelsmann couldn’t instantly change Sane’s fortunes,...

Bayern Munich is currently blessed with top-quality attacking talents in the first team. There is a great blend of experience and youth in all attacking options for Die Roten. It remains to be seen if the club will look to strengthen the attack after extending the contract of Kingsley Coman.

Bayern Munich have confirmed young midfielder Jamal Musiala has broken his hand and is now a doubt for their final two games of 2021. The 18-year-old started in the Bundesliga champions' victory over Mainz on Saturday, scoring in the 2-1 victory, but took a whack which could now see him sidelined until 2022.

Bayern Munich extended their Bundesliga lead to six points with Jamal Musiala on target as they beat Mainz 2-1, while Borussia Dortmund were held by Bochum. Karim Onisiwo headed Mainz into a surprise lead in the 22nd minute in a stadium empty because of coronavirus restrictions, but Kingsley Coman levelled for Bayern just after the break. The 18-year-old Musiala earned Bayern the win with his sixth goal of the season in the 74th minute.

When Jamal Musiala left the Chelsea academy in the summer of 2019, it was in the hope he could accelerate his progress at Bayern Munich. More than two years later, the 18-year-old has racked up 2,099 minutes in the Bayern first team, with a combined goals and assists tally of 18 - that's an impressive goal contribution every 117 minutes.

Bayern Munich has been getting praise for managing Jamal Musiala brilliantly in the past 18 months. The youngster enjoyed a breakthrough campaign last year, which eventually attracted interest from various top clubs in Europe. However, Die Roten quickly secured his future by offering him a new deal. Musiala also enjoyed...

Poland legend Zbigniew Boniek has admitted he couldn't be more impressed by Liverpool target Kacper Kozlowski claiming he outshone a number of other world class youngsters at a youth tournament a few years back.

Jamal Musiala's status as a prodigal talent has been no secret for the past couple of years; the question has been whether he'd be able to fulfil that overwhelming potential. Well, at just 18 years of age, the young creative talent is already looking an untouchable force on the pitch and is only improving with each passing minute of match action.

For over the past couple of decades, Bayern Munich has seen multiple top talents successfully stepping up from reserves to the first team. Thomas Muller is the prime example of this policy as the German forward has been a pivotal member of the squad for more than a decade. During...
