BERLIN — Jamal Musiala is emerging as Bayern Munich’s most important player this season. The club is hoping the young Germany star will stay for the long term. Musiala’s contract with the Bavarian powerhouse is up at the end of the 2025-26 season, so there’s still plenty of time for the parties to reach an agreement on an extension.

St. Pauli held Bayern Munich to just 6 total shots on target at the Millerntor-Stadion, but it was a wonder strike from Jamal Musiala in the 27th minute that handed the Rekordmeister a 1-0 win away from home,
