Bayern Munich and Germany superstar Jamal Musiala starred for his nation in their World Cup opener against Japan.
Musiala was a part of the Chelsea academy from 2011 until 2019 when he left at just 16 years old to join the Bundesliga giants. The 19-year-old is considered one of the best talents in Europe having already scored 12 goals and provided a further 10 assists in just 22 appearances for Bayern so far this season.
His form has earned him a place in Hansi Flick's 26-man Germany World Cup squad as DFB-Team aim for a much better tournament than their previous two. Musiala opted to represent his country of birth at international level despite being able to represent England and the 19-year-old is flourishing for both club and country.
