It takes quite a performance to come off the field against an England side that can hardly work out how to accommodate its own array of attacking talent looking like the one that got away but that is exactly what Jamal Musiala produced at the Allianz Arena last night.
Born in Stuttgart, Musiala moved to London aged seven and was educated at a school in Croydon and on a football pitch in Cobham, before swapping Chelsea’s academy for Bayern Munich’s as a 16-year-old. By then, he had already represented England at U15 and U16 level, and would go on to at U17 and U21 too, before switching allegiance to the country of his birth when a senior call-up arrived.
