Jamal Musiala chooses between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi

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 wat...

Jamal Musiala names the 2 players who rival Jude Bellingham as the best in the world

Bayern Munich superstar Jamal Musiala and Real Madrid sensation Jude Bellingham are close friends off the pitch, but they are about to be fierce opponents on it next week on April 30 at the Allianz Arena in the first leg of the Champions League semifinals. The mutual respect between the two Bundesliga icons is obvious, and Musiala recently gave Bellingham praise by shouting him out as one of the very best footballers on this planet. Jamal Musiala was asked, via @iMiaSanMia, who he would pick as the best player in the world today. The German international listed Jude Bellingham as one option, and he also named current teammate Harry Kane and future Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappe as the other two candidates. Perhaps Musiala, humble as he is, may consider adding himself on that short...

When Jamal Musiala and Serge Gnabry will return for Bayern Munich

Bayern Munich have one eye glued to the date April 30, because that is when they will play host to Real Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League semifinals. Die Roten have already decided to hold out star right winger Leroy Sane from Saturday's Bundesliga matchup against Eintracht Frankfurt so that they can ensure the German international will be ready for Tuesday's Champions League tilt with Real Madrid. According to a report from BILD, Bayern Munich will also keep Serge Gnabry out of Saturday's game. The 28-year-old has missed most of April with a torn muscle, which is his third significant injury of the 2023/24 season. Gnabry missed most of the winter with an injury and fractured his forearm in September. In total, the left winger has only started four matches and appear...

Antonio Rudiger picks out 2 Bayern Munich stars he’s watching the closest next to Harry Kane

Real Madrid and Bayern Munich will meet again in the Champions League semifinals, just like old times, except there will be no Cristiano Ronaldo or Arjen Robben. Some faces, like Luka Modric and Manuel Neuer, will be familiar, but there are plenty of new superstars in this old European footballing rivalry like Vinicius Junior and Harry Kane. One of those new faces on Real Madrid, Antonio Rudiger, is a veteran of the competition in his own right, having won the tournament in 2020/21 for Chelsea, knocking out the Royal Whites along the way. Rudiger knows plenty about Bayern Munich, too. Not only is he a German international who played in the Bundesliga as a youngster for Stuttgart, but he also played for Thomas Tuchel when Chelsea won the Champions League. Ahead of next week's fi...

Ranking the 10 best dribblers in world football right now in 2024

Few player profiles captivating the world football audience's attention more than fleet-footed dribblers.

That holds true for managers, too. Pep Guardiola has become infatuated with elite dribblers, and a couple of these recent additions will show up on this list of the best dribblers in world football today. Other managers feel the same, as Carlo Ancelotti, for example, has always had a soft spot for flair dribblers like current superstars Rodrygo Goes and Vinicius Junior. (Spoiler: They will sho...

Ballon d’Or Rankings: Bayern Munich get 3, Jude Bellingham vs. Kane, where’s Bukayo Saka?

With most of Europe's top five leagues at their halfway point of the 2023/24 season, it's time to take a fresh look at the top 10 Ballon d'Or candidates for next year, 2024. 10. Bayern Munich AM Jamal Musiala 9. Manchester City DM Rodri 8. Bayer Leverkusen LB Álex Grimaldo Álex Grimaldo isn't the most well-known name in the Bundesliga or even on his own team, but he should absolutely be considered a Ballon d'Or candidate on the basis of his play this season. A new member of the squad, Grimaldo is one of many brilliant signings made by Die Werkself, and he is setting a different standard as a left back who can dictate play and even score great goals. Florian Wirtz, Jonas Hofmann, and Victor Boniface have all been exceptional, but what Grimaldo is doing as a left back with ...

Best U23 players in the world for 2024: Man City and Arsenal make it, Jamal Musiala or Jude Bellingham No. 1?

Who are the best U23 players in world football as the year 2023 closes? Is most of the young talent concentrated in the Premier League or more spread out amongst different leagues? And is Jude Bellingham or Jamal Musiala the best young player? Let's rank the top 10 U23 players in the world before 2024 begins. 10. Manchester City LW Jérémy Doku It may seem too soon to rank Jérémy Doku in the top ten of the world's best U23 players, given this is his first season with Manchester City and he hasn't even logged 700 minutes for the Citizens. However, Doku was already exceptional for Rennes before Pep Guardiola wisely snapped him up for City, where he has remained one of the world's finest dribblers with four dribbles completed per match in the world's most competitive league. A g...

Bundesliga TOTS: Leverkusen dominate, Bayern Munich in second, nobody on Dortmund

With 16 matches played and the Christmas break upon us, it is time to take a look at the best individual performances of the 2023/24 Bundesliga season thus far by naming a Team of the Season. It should come as no surprise that Bayern Munich are well-represented, but with an undefeated Bayer Leverkusen rocking the BuLi in first, it is actually Die Werkself who have the most players in the TOTS. It's not even close. Usual runner-ups Borussia Dortmund, meanwhile, are nowhere to be found, highlighting the club's dysfunction under a clearly overmatched Edin Terzić. GK Lukas Hradecky, Bayer Leverkusen LB Álex Grimaldo, Bayer Leverkusen CB Kim Min-Jae, Bayern Munich CB Odilon Koussounou, Bayer Leverkusen RB Jeremie Frimpong, Bayer Leverkusen The defense is almost entirely ...

Ranking the 10 best attacking midfielders in men’s football right now in 2023

Although the modern game has seemingly phased out the No. 10, there are still plenty of footballers finding ways to make an impact in the attacking midfield, either playing there in a scheme with two flexible attacking mids or moving up into that area of the pitch from a 4-3-3. And even still, there are a few 10's getting to play in that traditional CAM role regularly, such as Bruno Fernandes, or in certain systems based on opponent, such as Paulo Dybala. So in honor of this wonderful position and the creators who inspire us to try out some killer through passes on our local community pitch, let's rank the best attacking midfielders in world football right now. We'll leave out players who primarily play as an 8 or on the wing and stick to only players who have frequently earned mi...
