It is always a joy to witness Jamal Musiala and Florian Wirtz, two of the Bundesliga’s brightest talents, put their talents on display for Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen, but it’s even better to see them do it playing for the same side.
The duo did exactly that in Germany’s UEFA Nations League clash against Bosnia Herzegovina, scoring 3 and assisting 1 between them to help Germany to an emphatic 7-0 victory.
It turns out it’s not just the fans that love seeing the Bundesliga talents play on the same team. In a post match interview with Das Erste, Wirtz described his satisfaction in partnering up with Musiala for the national team (via @MiaSanMia).
“I’ve always said that I enjoy playing with him. I said many times that we understand each other on the pitch and get on well off the pitch too. It’s just so much fun,” Wirtz said.
From a fans perspective, it is refreshing to see Germany’s two brightest talents, who at club level are fierce rivals, come together to form an effective and fun duo. It truly speaks to the professionalism of both players at such a young age.
No doubt, Bayern fans will be praying for the day they will not have to wait until the international break to see the duo score and assist at will. However, until that day comes, Musiala and Wirtz will certainly continue to put their stamp on Germany’s refreshed and rejuvenated national team.
