The Bayern Munich star confesses his love for Barcelona: “My point of reference, my favorite team”

Barcelona and Real Madrid often rely on their prestige and reputation to give them an advantage in the transfer market, and on many occasions it has proven to be a greater attraction than extra money. A solid demonstration of the great respect that footballers have for them is Jamal Musiala.

The Bayern Munich star, currently in contract negotiations with the Bavarian giants, has been linked to Real Madrid in the past. However, he has revealed that he was a Barcelona fan since his childhood.

“FC Barcelona was my reference, my favorite team. He had a Messi shirt. I was fascinated by the midfield with Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets. I could watch his games over and over again. On the back of my shirts, when I was a child, Messi almost always appeared,” he told BILD, quoted by MD.

“I also had one with Neymar, but Messi was my hero, my favorite player.”

The 21-year-old clearly has a great affection for Spanish football, despite having spent his childhood between Germany and England. After spending time in the academies of Southampton and Chelsea, and performing in England’s youth ranks, Musiala chose to play for the Mannschaft after returning to Germany to join Bayern Munich. Unfortunately for Barcelona, ​​it will be a long time before they can sign Musiala if he signs a new contract as expected.
