Jamal Musiala’s Bayern Munich season is starting to take flight.
The sparkling creator had a deft headed goal and one of the smoothest assists you’ll ever see for teammate Harry Kane in Bayern’s 5-0 trouncing of VfL Bochum on Sunday. The match marked his first start since he was sidelined with a hip injury in early October.
And locking down the 21-year-old will be one of the Bavarians’ top priorities this season.
“The fact that Jamal is an exceptional player is also the reason why we want to extend his contract and make him the new face of FC Bayern,” said Bayern board member for sport Max Eberl after the game in remarks captured by Sky (via @iMiaSanMia). “He’s an exceptional player with exceptional intuition when he goes into dribbling. And of course, a player like that makes others better.”
Bayern could use a player to elevate everyone around him on the pitch — and Musiala’s recovery is a welcome development.
