Munich (dpa) - In football, the nomination list for the renowned balloon d’Or ensures excitement, especially in the camp of FC Bayern Munich. The departure of one of the prominent names that does not have the list surprised many: Jamal Musiala, who caused a sensation with his extraordinary skills during the last season, is missing on the list of nominated. This sensational decision has made the club responsible at a loss.
Clear: it is a remarkable failure. Max Eberl, the sports director of FC Bayern, commented on this topic and found: "We are very surprised at Bayern that Jamal Musiala is missing on this list." Eberl's statement refers to the fact that Musiala caused a stir not only during the European Championship, but also contributed significantly to the progress of the club in the Champions League.
incredible achievements of Musiala
Especially stood out in summer, the young offensive player made it into the “top team” of the European Championship and played a key role in the team. "Jamal was one of the outstanding players at the European Championship and was one of the top scores of the tournament," emphasizes Eberl. These achievements raise the question of how his services could be ignored, while other players such as Toni Kroos, who ended his career after the European Championship, and Antonio Rüdiger were put on the list.
The other nominees include prominent names such as Florian Wirtz and Mats Hummels, the latter with a new challenge in Serie A at AS Rome. Musiala, on the other hand, has its place in the national team and, together with his teammates, will prepare the upcoming Nation League games that are held against Hungary and later against the Netherlands. If we look at the successes that FC Bayern has achieved in the past seasons, it becomes clear how important Musiala is for the team. His contribution was crucial for the achievement of the Champions League semi-final, which only reinforces the amazement of his non-nomination.
The fact that Musiala is not one of the 30 best players of last season, as Eberl put it, met with incomprehension and disappointment in the club: "We are very proud of what he does for FC Bayern and also in the national team." The association is convinced that Musiala is one of the most fascinating talents in European football and its skills are unique.
This year the balloon d’Or will be awarded in Paris on October 28th, and the list of nominees has already caused numerous discussions. For the first time since 2003, both Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are not on the list, which makes the event even more remarkable. Her absence comes after another season in which Messi won the Copa América with Argentina and Cristiano Ronaldo ran through the Premier League with Manchester United. Instead of the usual constellation of the Superstars, other actors are now in focus, including Erling Haaland from Manchester City and Harry Kane from Bayern Munich.
It remains to be seen whether Musiala will receive deserved recognition for his achievements in the future despite its non -nomination. The debate about the selection criteria and the nominations will certainly continue, especially in the context of constant evolution and competition in professional football.
