Jamal Musiala recalls hanging out with Jude Bellingham at England youth camps and reveals how they deal with playing against each other

Jamal Musiala of Bayern Munich and Jude Bellingham of Borussia Dortmund battle for the ball during the Bundesliga match between Borussia Dortmund and FC Bayern München at Signal Iduna Park on October 8, 2022 in Dortmund, Germany.

Jamal Musiala has told FourFourTwo exclusively that he's “close” to Jude Bellingham – despite his fellow wonderkid being a rival.

Musiala was in the England youth set-up with Bellingham before choosing to switch international allegiance to play for the country of his birth, Germany. The pair played together for the Three Lions – and have since gone on to become the Bundesliga's biggest stars.
