High-flyer Jamal Musiala has established himself at Bayern. And more than that: After the season began slowly for the youngster under Julian Nagelsmann, he was able to prove himself in the central defensive midfield in recent weeks. But no matter what position Musiala plays, the German national player regularly shines with his excellent dribbling – this is confirmed by the latest statistics from the first half of the season.
What kind of development Jamal Musiala has put down is astonishing for every football fan. A young player who has established himself so quickly with the record champions’ professionals is not that common on Säbener Straße. The 18-year-old is an absolutely exceptional talent. And if you don’t want to admit that, you just have to marvel at the latest statistics for the first half of the Bundesliga, which say: Musiala is the Bundesliga player with the most dribbling skills.
1.3 successful dribbles in the opponent’s penalty area per game – best value!

FC Bayern’s number 42 has a total of 1.3 successful dribbles in the opposing penalty area per game in the first half of the Bundesliga – no other player comes close to this figure! In second place is Ondrej Duda from Hertha, with 0.6 successful dribbles.
Of course, not only this value is a sign of Musiala’s outstanding performance, the all-rounder already attracted attention under Hansi Flick and was rewarded with 39 appearances. While he only got 8 scorer points last season, Musiala has already recorded 11 goals (6 goals, 5 assists) in just 23 games this season. Bayern officials can be more than happy to have such a talented player in their ranks. “Bambi” is already writing strong statistics at the age of 18 and he still has huge potential for development.
