Jamal Musiala shines in Bayern's victory in Darmstadt.
Lilien coach Thorsten Lieberknecht left the team speechless for a moment with a eulogy.
Darmstadt – Despite being behind for a while, FC Bayern are not showing any weakness in Darmstadt.
In an entertaining Bundesliga game, Munich ended up winning 5-2 – also thanks to Jamal Musiala.
Musiala shines in Bayern's victory in Darmstadt
The Bayern jewel was undoubtedly the best man on the pitch at the Böllenfalltor (

grade 1).
The 21-year-old first equalized for Munich before Musiala made the preliminary decision with his second goal in the 64th minute.
The goal to make it 3-1 was once again a dream goal.
After a quick throw-in from Thomas Müller, Musiala sometimes played cat and mouse with four Lilien defenders.
His dream assist to Serge Gnabry to make it 4-1 rounded off the performance.

Lieberknecht surprises with EM announcement about Musiala
It's logical that Musiala's great day was also a topic at the press conference after the game.
“If you're not directly involved, as an opposing coach, then it's a real pleasure to watch the boy,” enthused Darmstadt coach Thorsten Lieberknecht about the 21-year-old.
The Lilien trainer went even further and caused a stir with a bold prediction.
“The German national team can count itself extremely lucky that we have a player like that.
“He will lead the team to the European Championships – if they don’t even become European champions with him,” said Lieberknecht.

Tuchel was briefly speechless by Lieberknecht's announcement
Tuchel seemed briefly speechless, especially by the 50-year-old's last sentence, and initially responded with a surprised “Wow”.
After the Bayern coach had composed himself again, he also praised his protégé.
“Jamal has been very crucial for us in the last few weeks.
We are and have always been happy with him.
The potential is outstanding,” said Tuchel, explaining his view of things.
And even if the home European Championship is still a long way away, one thing is clear: with Musiala in top form, Germany has better chances than without him.
Whether it will ultimately be enough to win the European Championship is a different piece of paper.
