Jamal Musiala picks his side on the Lionel Messi & Cristiano Ronaldo debate

The German youngster is highly rated among fans

One of the best young players in the world, Jamal Musiala made his debut in the Bayern Munich starting lineup during the 2020–2021 season. Musiala’s brilliant footwork, incredible burst of pace, and clinical finishing touch have rendered numerous Bundesliga opponents helpless over the last four years.

Because of this, a lot of onlookers have started to question if Musiala will ever be able to claim the title of the world’s greatest player. The 21-year-old would probably need to have a major impact on a Champions League or World Cup victory in order to do this.

There is no doubt that he has the skill to win the Ballon d’Or, even though he may not be at the level to be picked to receive the prize despite having already received a nomination. Furthermore, as Musiala has already stated, winning the Ballon d’Or is a personal objective of his.

Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo? Jamal Musiala gives his verdict

Any football player would be honoured to be listed with Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, but who is the greatest of all time? In an interview with Bayern TV, Musiala responded to the most frequently asked question in football:

“For me, Lionel Messi has to be the GOAT. There are things that no one but him can really do.”

When asked which other football players, outside Messi, would make his final five list, Musiala, 21, listed Diego Maradona, Gerd Müller, Pele, and Cristiano Ronaldo.

“It’s hard for me to name a few of these names because I didn’t see them play.”

It’s obvious to Musiala that Messi is the best player of all time, and the Bayern star has looked up to the Argentinean since he was a young boy. Musiala might eventually be regarded as influential as the former magician from Barcelona.
