PSG Eliminate Bayern as Musiala’s Form Comes Under Fresh Scrutiny

The Champions League exit refocuses attention on a young star still working back from a major leg injury.

Overview

  • Paris Saint‑Germain advanced to the Champions League final after a 1–1 draw in Munich sealed a 5–4 aggregate win in the semi‑finals.
  • Ousmane Dembélé scored early for PSG and Harry Kane equalized in stoppage time, which left Bayern short of the two goals they needed to turn the tie.
  • Jamal Musiala started behind Kane and had three first‑half shots saved by goalkeeper Matvei Safonov, yet he struggled to influence either leg against PSG.
  • Musiala has been rebuilding since a fibula fracture at the 2025 Club World Cup against PSG, returning in January before an ankle flare‑up in March stalled a national‑team comeback.
  • Oliver Kahn said the current level is below what Musiala and Bayern expect, while Roman Weidenfeller argued it is unfair to demand peak form so soon, even as Musiala’s post‑return tally stands at five goals and six assists.
