bayern munich – Wolfnewss

Bayern Munich playmaker Jamal Musiala missed much of the season due to a broken leg, and while he has already made an impact since returning to the ‌pitch in January, coach Vincent Kompany is confident he will soon take his game to a ⁠whole new level.

The 23-year-old Germany international sustained a fibula fracture with a broken and dislocated ankle following a collision with then-Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper ‌Gianluigi Donnarumma at the Club World Cup last July.

After making his return at the start of the ‌year, he has gradually earned more playing time as ‌he ⁠bids to make Germany’s squad for the World ⁠Cup, which starts in June.

Fellow Bayern midfielder Serge Gnabry carried much of the load during Musiala’s absence but will be out of action for several weeks with an adductor muscle ‌injury.

With Bayern set for a German Cup semifinal against Bayer Leverkusen on Wednesday, Kompany needs Musiala to step up.

“Jamal is in a good phase at the moment,” he told ‌a press conference on Tuesday.

“I said it early on, back in January, that he’s developed physically. He’s now also physically close to his best level, not ⁠just in terms of strength but also in terms of his willingness to run.

“Now the question is when will ‘Magic Musiala’ return? ‌It will come 100%. The moments are there. But even now, what the lad is doing at the moment is very dangerous in front of goal.”

In 600 minutes of play, Musiala had accrued nine ‘scorer points’ — the combined number of assists and goals scored — in all competitions, said Kompany.

Treble-chasing Bayern, which has ‌not reached the German Cup final since 2020, secured the Bundesliga title on Sunday with a 4-2 victory over VfB Stuttgart with four matches left to play.

It also faces ⁠PSG next week in France in its Champions League semifinal first ⁠leg.

“When he has this total freedom again, and it will come back, then you will have an even ‌more developed version of Musiala and that, as a coach, makes me happy,” Kompany added.

“But with nine scorer points in 600 minutes he has shown he is ready.”

FC Bayern Munich won its 13th Bundesliga title in the last 14 seasons after beating VfB Stuttgart 4-2 at the Allianz Arena on Sunday.

Bayern went into the game with 76 points from 29 matches and needed just a draw to mathematically secure the championship. The victory moved it an unassailable 15 points clear of second-placed Borussia Dortmund with four rounds remaining.

It has been a season to remember for Bayern, which has already crossed the 100-goal mark. Its biggest win of the campaign came in an 8-1 thrashing of VfL Wolfsburg, while Harry Kane leads the scoring charts with 32 goals.

Stuttgart took the lead through Chris Fuhrich in the 21st minute, briefly unsettling the host. But Bayern responded emphatically, with Raphael Guerreiro, Nicolas Jackson and Alphonso Davies scoring in a six-minute spell before half-time to turn the game around.

Kane added to the tally after coming on as a second-half substitute, as Bayern dominated proceedings and could have scored more against an overwhelmed Stuttgart defence.

Chema pulled one back late for Stuttgart with a spectacular strike in the 88th minute, but it proved only a consolation.

The title also marks Vincent Kompany’s second successive league triumph, having won the trophy in his debut season in 2024-25.
