“I’ve never been to Africa before even though I always wanted to, but we’ve never really had the time to go over there,” Musiala told show host Serge Ibaka.

“My dad is from Nigeria, and he always tells me about the culture and everything about African foods. My dad made fufu while I was growing up back in England; he made this dish (fufu) every other day.”

Musiala, who has won four Bundesliga titles with Bayern Munich, has scored two goals in 27 appearances for the German senior national team since making his debut in 2021.
