Jamal Musiala‘s footballing ability is something beyond explanation. The German star set the stage on fire yet again as Germany took on Hungary in the Nations League on Saturday night. 5-0 read the final score as Musiala picked up a hat-trick of assists and a goal against the Hungarians. The 21-year-old was the subject of a lot of praise on social media following the performance.

Musiala got to work in the 27th minute, setting up Niclas Fullkrug by selflessly squaring the ball to the striker. He then took matters into his own hands in the second half and finished off a ‘scrappy’ chance on a counter-attack.

It didn’t take long for him to make an assist again, although Florian Wirtz did all the work to find the net from a difficult position. His third and final assist of the game came in the 77th minute, when the youngster put Aleksandar Pavlovic through on goal.

The midfielder scuffed his shot, although it proved to be enough to force his shot through the hands of Peter Gulacsi. With the 5-0 result, Germany are now top of Group 3 in League A.

Julian Nagelsmann showers Ballon d’Or praise on Germany duo after 5-0 win

Both Jamal Musiala and Florian Wirtz have been elemental to Julian Nagelsmann‘s squad in recent months. The duo lit up the stage for Germany as they were eliminated in the quarter finals to eventual champions Spain. The Bundesliga stars were directly responsible for all five of Germany’s goals as they beat Hungary by five goals to none.

Following the game, Nagelsmann made sure to give credit where it’s due. The manager said that both Wirtz and Musiala deserve to win the Ballon d’Or. Although Musiala was controversially left out of the Ballon d’Or shortlist, Nagelsmann looks forward to him laying hands on the same. After an amazing season with Bayer Leverkusen, Wirtz did manage to find a spot in the final 30.

Both have the potential to win the Ballon d'Or. Wusiala have the talent and they can do anything.
