  • Bayern Munich recorded a 1-0 victory over Paris Saint-Germain in France
  • A second-half goal by Kingsley Coman was enough to hand the Germans the important away win

Jamal Musial pulled off a stunning piece of skill as Bayern Munich ran out winners on Tuesday night against Paris Saint-Germain.

But there was enough in his tank to help the Bavarians record a vital 1-0 victory away from home.

It was the second time in three years that Coman has haunted his former club after netting the winner against the Ligue 1 outfit in the 2020 final.

It was 19-year-old Musiala who wowed everyone in the stadium and collectively dropped their jaws to the ground with a skill to remember.

The Nigerian-born German playmaker received the ball from Dayot Upamecano in the 62 minute. He then produced a magnificent piece of skill by outwitting onrushing Mendes with ease with his fleet foot.

Why Musiala chose Germany over Nigeria

Meanwhile, Musiala has finally spoken on why he snubbed Nigeria for Germany, claiming he feels comfortable with the Europeans.

The 19-year-old is one of the hottest youngsters in Europe and has been doing well with Bayern Munich since he broke into the first team.

Born in Germany to a Nigerian father and German mother, Musiala had the chance to play for the three-time African champions, but he chose the country of his birth.

Musiala channels his inner Messi

Sports Brief earlier reported that Jamal Musiala underpinned why he is touted as a generational talent, following his incredible solo goal for Bayern Munich.

The Germany international channeled his innermost Lionel Messi, dribbling past a tree of legs before rifling in an unstoppable shot.

Known for his composure with the ball at his feet, his insane dribbling skills, and his pace, the Bayern attacker scored the icing on the cake as Bayern beat Wolfsburg 4-2, per BFW.
