Bayern Munich superstar Jamal Musiala is well on his way to becoming a Ballon d’Or winner if he keeps up this insane rate of progression. He has 10 goals and 6 assists in the current Bundesliga campaign and will soon partake in the Champions League semifinals against Real Madrid.
There have been so many great battles between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich over the years in the Champions League, and, oftentimes, the Merengue club got the better of the Bavarians, largely thanks to the exploits of the most prolific goal-scorer in the history of the competition, Cristiano Ronaldo.
The age-old rivalry between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi was before Musiala’s time, though the battles between CR7 and LM10 are undoubtedly familiar to the German international. Not only did he grow up watching them, but his Bayern Munich side also had plenty of run-ins with Messi’s in the Champions League.
Bayern Munich TV interviewed Jamal Musiala recently, and they decided to get him to weigh in on the Cristiano Ronaldo vs. Lionel Messi debate. And true to his opinion in 2023, Musiala still stuck with Messi when asked who the GOAT is.
“For me, it has to be Messi.”
What is it they say? Players who are at the same position stick together, and Jamal Musiala and Lionel Messi are both fleet-footed playmakers who can create, score great goals, and take anyone on.
Musiala choosing Messi should come as no surprise to anyone who has watched his playing style, and so many football fans will agree with him that Messi is the GOAT.
But Cristiano Ronaldo and Real Madrid fans won’t mind, knowing their side got the better of Bayern Munich year after year in the Champions League.
