Bayern Munich’s 5-1 thumping of Rasenballsport Leipzig marked the first time Jonathan Tah and Jamal Musiala played on the same team in the Bundesliga. However, the duo still know each other for a fairly long time. Aside from being on rival Bundesliga teams before this season, the duo also played together for the Germany national team (and the Club World Cup, but who is counting).
Unsurprisingly, the duo have a strong bond. That bond was on full display in Jonathan Tah’s happy comments after the thrashing
of Leipzig, as he was asked about Musiala’s return from injury following a six month long absence. As captured by @iMiaSanMia, he kept the comment simple but affectionate:
“We’re so happy that Jamal is back. He’s our Bambi.”
Is the team still calling him that?
“Yes, definitely. He won’t be older than me.”
Even though he is nearly 23 and is the club’s #10, Musiala remains the team’s Bambi. Some things never change.
