Jamal Musiala returned from injury and immediately provided an assist in Bayern's 5-1 win over RB Leipzig, sparking emotional celebrations.
Marcus Rashford was back in action on Sunday for England against Albania and delivered another assist in a victory for the Three Lions in their final World Cup qualifier. England were leading 1-0 when Rashford arrived on 75 minutes as a substitute for Jarrod Bowen. The Barcelona loanee then needed just seven minutes to deliver an assist for Harry Kane. Rashford sent in a superb ball from the left for Kane to nod home his second of the night.
I work for the team. These games are incredibly difficult. It's not just about one player's talent, you must never give up as a team. They didn't score early on and they didn't score the penalty; it wouldn't have been fair for the game. We are proud of the win and the standings.
"Our team is so easy to make plays with, everyone is in the right spot," Schaefer said with a shrug. "I found (Drouin) there, and it was an easy pass to him and of course he puts it in the back of the net."
Just to be a part of it and to be in the celebration and the aftermath of it and basically getting to celebrate twice because when he tied the record on Thursday... [We were] partying for two days and then Sunday in New York. I don't think anyone remembers the score of that game, we just remember the fun that we had.
And then it's completely normal and human that we were a bit shocked and unsettled," said Raum (as captured by @iMiaSanMia). "We have to learn from these mistakes, grow as a team, stand together more, and show more confidence. We are Germany, a great footballing nation. We have a lot of quality, and we simply have to show that even more and then develop quality through our mentality. We did that well in the second half and deserved to win.
"Fun but also a bit nice to have it done now," Backstrom told Gelfe Dagblad after the game, as translated by Google Translate. "I hope we can play a more complete match, it would feel good for the confidence before the SHL premiere next Saturday."
