Jamal Musiala from FC Bayern Munich speaks clearly about non-nomination for Ballon d’Or

“I am looking at myself, my development and doing everything I can to ensure that we win here at the DFB and at Bayern,” said the 21-year-old after the German national team’s international match against Hungary in an interview with RTL.

Musiala was somewhat surprisingly not included in the list of 30 players selected by the French trade magazine France Football were nominated for the Ballon d’Or.

The management of the German record champions were subsequently outraged by the decision. Joshua Kimmich also expressed his incomprehension. Editor-in-chief Vincent Garcia then provided a detailed explanation.

The offensive player, however, is completely relaxed about the “setback”. “Nothing changes in my mentality and my goals for this season. And there’s no point worrying about it,” he said.
