Bayern Munich went on the road and defeated Holstein Kiel with an overwhelming 6-1 victory. Relegation zone Holstein Kiel made numerous errors that resulted in the spread, but Bayern’s high press and attacking prowess felt no remorse in the one-sided affair.
In particular, Jamal Musiala was ruthless. He scored in the first 15 seconds and forced an own goal in the 13th minute.
Musiala’s electrifying performance comes on the heels of the controversial vote from the Ballon d’Or to omit him from the top 30 list. Bayern alum Didi Hamann stoked the flames, calling Musiala selfish. As you’d expect, Musiala’s teammates and club have responded strongly to the criticism of the young phenom.
In his postgame interview (via @iMiaSanMia), Manuel Neuer plainly said, “I don’t think he has to answer anything because we’ve been seeing week for week and month for month what a class player he is. He doesn’t need any answers.”
The fastest way for Musiala to silence the critics is to continue to perform like he did today.
