Jamal Musiala demonstrated his characteristic prowess in dribbling as he skillfully navigated through the Freiburg defense in the 75th minute, elegantly placing his shot inside the back post. This pivotal moment ought to have solidified Bayern Munich’s commanding performance in the second half and stood as the decisive goal of the game. However, the tables turned when SC Freiburg’s forward, Lucas Höler, unexpectedly scored an equalizing goal in the 87th minute, defying the odds and altering the course of the match.
“We are Bayern and we hate to lose,” Musiala expressed his irritation at Bayern’s recent string of undesirable results. “Since I joined the club, I know that Bayern always want to win. The way things are going for us at the moment is very annoying. We all want to win and be champions. We have to stay positive and play as best as we can until the end and then see what happens.”
In light of his relocation to the left wing position, Musiala has been instrumental in scoring or assisting in three successive matches. This commendable streak follows a less fruitful period of six consecutive games wherein he failed to register a goal or an assist. Furthermore, Musiala’s offensive contributions were notably absent, with him not even managing to record a shot on goal in four out of five matches.
It is hoped that the complete reintroduction of Alphonso Davies will facilitate the creation of more attacking opportunities for Musiala and the entirety of Bayern in the concluding three months of the season.
