Hard times for Achraf Hakimi but could return at right-back less than a week after being charged with rape but the club is in full support for the Moroccan while the case is investigated, and the legal proceedings do not stop the player from leaving France.
Musiala KEY player for Bayern:
“With all the goals that he scored, it is not easy to find a player like that. But we have an amazing squad and we have to spread the goals out between all of us and have to find offensive solutions apart from Lewandowski to score goals.”
The 20-year-old midfielder is Bayern’s top scorer in the Bundesliga and all eyes on him against Paris Saint-Germain tonight. In addition to that, Musiala is second in the Bundesliga for assists this season and with greatest dribbling skills.
“Left-side 10,” that is how Musiala described it that day in Leipzig. “It is pretty open,” he explains. “You can always rotate to go out wide or come inside, there is space inside for me to turn and dribble into and create chances. It all depends on the opponent how we play.”
