Germany legend Lothar Matthaus remains baffled that England allowed Jamal Musiala to switch allegiances and has jokingly thanked the Three Lions.
The teenage sensation has become a mainstay in the Bayern Munich first team and already had 15 caps for Germany, representing them at Euro 2020. Previously though he'd spent nine years in English academies, eight of which were at Chelsea before he was snapped up by the Bundesliga champions.
Musiala played for England's age grades, all the way up until the U21s, before pledging himself to Germany, which Matthaus insists is a big mistake - comparing the 19-year-old to Lionel Messi.
