Jamal Musiala is back - now wearing number 10 for FC Bayern and the German national team. In a long history of special players, he represents a position that is designed to create unique moments and goals - precisely because it constantly reinvents freedom in football.. There are shirt numbers in football that are just digits on the team sheet. And there's the 10: not a number, but a promise - of creativity, technical skill and magical moments.

The first half was a lively affair with Leipzig having the better chances. Christoph Baumgartner curled wide and Neuer denied Rômulo before Yan Diomande cut back and Antonio Nusa put it wide. Díaz tested Gulácsi before Karl raced clear, but his square to Díaz went astray. The home side took the lead when David Raum's low cross invited Rômulo to turn it home from close range.

"I had complete confidence that he would recover. You always have to trust the lads, that it's not a step backwards, but sometimes a step forwards," Kompany stated in comments captured by @iMiaSanMia. "I'm always there for the players, as are all of us - whether it's Christoph Freund, Max Eberl or one of my assistants. That's very important for us.

When Gianluigi Donnarumma and the American turf bent Jamal Musiala's ankle completely out of shape in Bayern Munich's clash against Paris Saint-Germain in the Club World Cup, it was July 5th, 2025. Almost precisely 6 months later, Jamal Musiala has recovered from the injury enough to train individually for over a month. But he remains unable to play football yet, as the former Chelsea FC youngster revealed in a trip to the Bayern fan club.

Current Eintracht Frankfurt manager Dino Toppmöller - who worked under Julian Nagelsmann at Bayern - spoke this week about Jamal Musiala's goal on the last matchday of the 2022/23 season that clinched the 11th Meisterschale in a row. Toppmöller, like the rest of Nagelsmann's crew, was let go in March when Thomas Tuchel was put into power, but he felt involved in that final goal and the celebrations.

"That's normal after such a big move abroad. But he's a superb player, he will get used to the Premier League over time and be able to handle the even bigger pressure. I felt the same way at Inter at the beginning. Andi Brehme, whose transfer was rather quiet, performed immediately at Inter. I had to get used to everything, partly due to the media hype and the higher transfer fee," said Matthäus told Sky Germany (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).

Jamal Musiala is targeting a return to action for Bayern Munich before the end of 2025. Musiala suffered a fractured fibula and a dislocated ankle in a challenge with Gianluigi Donnarumma during Bayern's defeat to Paris Saint-Germain at the Club World Cup in July. Bayern confirmed he would be absent for a minimum of four months and would require surgery immediately. The Germany playmaker recorded 21 goals and eight assists in all competitions for Bayern last season.
