Jamal Musiala says Sergio Ramos is the best defender. The toughest defender Jamal Musiala, a midfielder for Bayern Munich, has ever faced was former Real Madrid and Spain captain Sergio Ramos.
When Bayern Munich played Paris Saint-Germain in the Round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League this year, Musiala came up against the Spaniard. Based on the two legs combined, the Bavarians prevailed 3-0.
However, Musiala was impressed with Ramos’ demeanor throughout the game. On the Bayern website, he stated: “The manner Sergio Ramos defended caught me off guard a little bit. He handled himself properly and had great intuition.”
Ramos is frequently considered as one of history’s best defenders. Therefore, it shouldn’t be shocking that Jamal Musiala experienced the Spaniard’s talent during the most recent matches versus Bayern.
Ramos, though, who is 37 and far past his prime, was faced by Musiala near the end of his career. He nevertheless showed his quality.
Ramos spent 16 years at Real Madrid, where he became known as one of the best defenders. He competed in 671 games for the team, winning various awards including five La Liga championships, four UEFA Champions League trophies, and many more. He and Spain also triumphed in the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
Recently, the center-back played his last match for PSG. In the summer, he will become a free agent and leave the team. Ramos’ potential transfer to the Saudi Pro League has been mentioned. Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal are reportedly vying for his services, according to Le10Sport.
Last month, Jamal Musiala’s Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel was furious with him:
Bayern suffered a 2-1 defeat to Freiburg in the DFB Pokal quarterfinal last month. Thomas Tuchel suffered his first setback since succeeding Julian Nagelsmann. The role Jamal Musiala and other players played in that defeat incensed the Germans.
At 1-1, Musiala handled the ball inside the penalty area, giving the other team a penalty. When the penalty kick was successful, Bayern lost. Tuchel stated the following following the game (via GOAL): “Before that, in the final minute, we lost two headers in the box. You must physically enter the space, be more steady, and be more resilient. There were too many balls in the box in the final minute with two header duels and a first ball, second ball, and third ball. It’s simple.”
On the last day of the Bundesliga, Jamal Musiala, however, atoned for his mistake. The teenage player stunned FC Koln with a last-second goal from outside the box. On a tight final day, his goal enabled Bayern to win 2-1 and win the Bundesliga as a result.
