When Borussia Dortmund meets FC Bayern tonight, it’s also the duel between the mega talents Jude Bellingham and Jamal Musiala.
At 6.30 p.m. the kick-off will be in what is probably the biggest game the Bundesliga has to offer. Then Borussia Dortmund meets Bayern Munich. More than 200 countries broadcast the German classic. It is very likely that there will be two players on the pitch who actually own the future, but who are probably the best players in their club at the moment.
When Borussia Dortmund meets FC Bayern Munich tonight, it will also be a duel between two mega talents. This refers to Jude Bellingham and Jamal Musiala. One was born on June 29, 2003, the other on February 26, 2003. Both are among football’s greatest hopes.
In addition, Bellingham and Musiala are now permanent members of their respective clubs and it is difficult to imagine the first eleven without them. Jude Bellingham has now played 69 Bundesliga games for BVB and was appointed third captain by coach Edin Terzic before the current season. The top English clubs are said to be queuing up for the 19-year-old, who also has 17 caps for the Three Lions.
Edin Terzic raves about Jude Bellingham
Before the top game against Bayern, the BVB coach raved about his midfield engine. “He has already scored three goals in the Champions League, which shows the form he is in. But there is still so much to come in his career,” said Terzic at the press conference.
It’s unclear where Bellingham is headed, but a summer move to the island isn’t out of the question. It has been reported that the England international wants to take the next step in his career. Preferably at a top club in his home country.
But there is also a mega talent on the pitch in Jamal Musiala. Both know each other very well from the English U-national teams, where they played together until the man from Munich decided to play for the DFB team.
Jamal Musiala has established himself at Bayern Munich
Like Bellingham, Musiala is one of the regulars in the Munich star ensemble – at least since this season. The 19-year-old has meanwhile played 64 games in the Bundesliga. So far, the native of Stuttgart has not been as good as this season. In seven league games, the offensive player scored five goals and prepared another three.
The duel between the two mega talents could shape today’s classic, because the paths of the two could cross in large numbers. But football Germany can look forward to that. Similar to what Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann is looking forward to. “We can all enjoy that such young top talents are playing in the Bundesliga,” Nagelsmann said of Musiala and Bellingham. “I’m assuming that both of them will continue to play the key roles they are currently playing throughout the season and that they are also of great importance for their national teams.”
How often the two talents still play against each other is in the stars. While the Englishman, as described above, would like to make the step to a top club, Musiala has already established himself at such a club and was even able to raise the Champions League trophy to the sky as a supplementary player. However, it would be a shame for the German Bundesliga if there were only two duels between the two youngsters.
