Jamal Musiala scored his first Bundesliga goal of the season in the 4-0 home win, reason enough for Joshua Kimmich to hand him the captain’s armband
Despite the absence of Harry Kane, FC Bayern secured a deserved 4-1 win against Borussia Mönchengladbach, thanks in part to Jamal Musiala scoring his first league goal of the season from the penalty spot on Friday evening
When asked about it on the Sky microphone after the game, he jokingly said: „I’m a few penalties behind Harry now, aren’t I? It’s also a responsibility to take a penalty sometimes. I’m happy that I took the chance
Overall, his foot was „a bit tired, but it feels good. It was my third start now, 90 minutes for the first time. It feels good. I get into the rhythm with games like this. I’m happy.“
Musiala „really happy“ about captain’s armband
Musiala was also „really happy“ to be given the captain’s armband for the German record champions. „I felt heavy when I was running around afterwards. I don’t know why Jo gave it to me. I thought he’d give it to Leon because he’s been here a bit longer than me, but it’s a great honour for such a big club and I accept it and I’m really happy about it.“
With regard to the upcoming hot phase in the Champions League and the upcoming round of 16 against Atalanta Bergamo, Musiala concluded: „We can see that our energy level is high, the focus is high, we go into every game with the feeling that we can win. And we have to take that into the knockout games. We have a lot of games where we can rotate. And no matter who is on the pitch, we have to be one hundred percent there if we want to go far.“
