BayernContinues goal contribution streak
Musiala scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 4-3 victory over Mainz.
Analysis: Musiala continues to produce for Bayern as he gets minutes back following a long-term injury, as the attacker appeared off the bench to score a goal in the 80th minute. This comes as a fourth straight outing with a goal contribution, earning five during that span. He is now up to three goals and four assists in 12 appearances (four starts) in league play this season.
Building back toward best level
Musiala is making strong physical progress in his return from injury, with coach Vincent Kompany expressing confidence that his best form is on the way back. "Jamal is in a good phase right now. I already said quite early on: He's developed physically, he's now also physically, not just in terms of strength, but also in terms of willingness to run, very close to his best level. Pressing the way we do it, he can do. He wins duels. Now the question is: When will the Magic Musiala return? And that will come back 100 percent at some point, those moments are already there."
Analysis: Musiala has been carefully managed since returning from his ankle surgery, featuring in four starts across 11 league appearances with two goals and four assists while creating 12 chances and making six tackles. Coach Kompany's upbeat assessment suggests the 23-year-old is rounding the corner physically, and Bayern will be hoping the full version of their playmaker arrives in time for the Champions League semifinal against PSG, where his creativity and directness will be absolutely crucial.
Assists in title win
Musiala assisted once to go with three shots (zero on goal) and two chances created in Sunday's 4-2 victory over VfB Stuttgart.
Analysis: Musiala played just one half Sunday, managing to record an assist during the title win over Stuttgart. Since his return from injury, he's recorded just four starts in 11 league appearances, scoring twice with four assists while creating 12 chances and making six tackles.
