Musiala scores dramatic late winner

In a previous publication, Sports Brief reported that Jamal Musiala has opened up on the build-up to his last-gasp match-winning goal, which secured Bayern Munich's 11th successive Bundesliga title on Saturday, May 27.

Musiala climbed off the bench to help the Bavarians stamp their authority on the German championship in dramatic fashion.

Fortunately for the Bavarians, their title rivals Dortmund stumbled to a 2-2 draw with Mainz, allowing Thomas Tuchel's charges to squeeze past them in the tightest league race in recent years.
