BAYERN GAME February 2025
LIKE A SNAKE
When it comes to the future of FC Bayern , no name is as much in the spotlight as that of Jamal Musiala . The 21-year-old ( contract until 2030 ) is expected to shape the next red era by giving the game a decisive boost with his snake-like dribbling .

Why hasn ‘ t there already been a word for what Jamal Musiala does to his opponents ? Something like : “ The defense was musialized .“ As an intensification of embarrassed , duped or outclassed . At EURO 2024 no other German player dribbled as often as Jamal Musiala , who was also his team ‘ s top scorer ( 3 goals ). With his dribbling skills , the 21-year-old has already given Bayern fans many unique moments . For example , in February 2023 , when he pulled inwards just 50 meters from the goal , left seven (!) Wolfsburg players behind him , entered the penalty area with a snake-like movement , mercurylike , intangible , a short intermediate step , head up , bam , goal ! The defenders always have the same question written on their faces afterwards : “ What ’ s happened ?“ They have been musialized . But how exactly does Jamal actually do that ?
