Jamal Musiala only needed nine minutes to displace a true Bayern icon.
In the 72nd minute, Musala came in against Schalke 04 and scored in the 81st minute to make it 8-0. At 17 years, 6 months and 23 days, he became the youngest scorer in the glorious history of record champions.
Until that moment, Roque Santa Cruz was Bavaria’s super teenager.
With a brave solo and a precise ending, Musiala showed her disposition and made her coach smile. (Bayern set these records against Schalke)
“We hope he continues to show what he suggests,” Hansi Flick said after the first goal of the teenager, who also became the fifth youngest scorer in the Bundesliga. “It should accept as much of the best players as possible.”
It was the second Bundesliga appearance for the attacking midfielder, who had already played a two-minute game against SC Freiburg last season.
Musiala: from the U-17 to the Champions League
A year ago, Bayern scout boss Marco Neppe guided the talented Chelsea teenager to Munich. Since then, Musiala has been constantly improving. In the U17 he shone with goals with the number 10 of the playmaker on his back, before earning a regular place in the U19 with coach Martín Demichelis.
Following the resumption of the third division, he also established himself firmly at Bayern II and scored a joker double against Zwickau. Until the end of the season, which the “little Bavarians” completed as champions, Musiala regularly had his work schedule.
After she was also able to gain experience in the Youth League, Musiala sniffed the Bundesliga air for the first time in Freiburg. The young man was on the bench in the 8-2 win against FC Barcelona.
The fact that the offensive player is well received by all his coaches is also due to his flexibility. “He’s smart, fast, technically strong and he can play at ten, but also at nine,” said his adviser at the time, Bradley Hudson-Odoi, describing the youngster’s strengths in an interview with Musiala’s movement last year . SPORT1.
Germany or England: who will Musiala choose?
As Callum Hudson-Odoi, the brother of Musiala’s former agent, moved from Chelsea to Munich, Bayern acquired an even younger talent. Before moving to Munich in 2019, he had played for Chelsea’s youth team for eight years.
“El Moukoko of FC Bayern” was the headline tz in February, after Musiala could even test the stars of the first team during training with head coach Hansi Flick. The comparison with Dortmund’s Youssoufa Moukoko is obvious, but at the same time he limps a bit.
In contrast to the super talented BVB, Musiala is quite thin and also a bit shy. To establish herself at Bayern, she has to improve physically in particular. But Musiala shines with fine technology and sophistication, she looks like young Mehmet Scholl from her playground.
Musiala, who was born in Stuttgart as the son of a German and a Nigerian, could also prove interesting for the German team in the future. “He would definitely try to catch him. But that’s his decision, he has clear ideas too,” said Flick, referring to national coach Joachim Loew.
Movie about Musiala: “It’s a long way”
Given that Musiala also has an English passport, it is far from clear that he will one day play for the DFB team. After two international games with the German U16s, she returned to the Three Lions, where she last played with the U17s.
“He is an excellent player who can gain a lot of speed. He has already shown what he has shown today in training,” said Flick happily, but at the same time pressing the brakes: “We want to take him carefully to the point where he can help us even more. That’s a long way to go. “
If you continue on this road like Friday night, then you could take one or the other shortcut.
