While many young players might feel the weight of comparisons to iconic figures like Lionel Messi, Musiala approaches his burgeoning career with humility and a keen sense of self-awareness. He acknowledges the incomparable stature of Messi, recognizing that trying to emulate such a legend would be an “impossible mission.” Instead, Musiala remains grounded in his own journey, focused on continuous improvement and contributing to his team’s success.

In his own words, Musiala states, “I don’t know, I don’t think I can compare myself at all with Messi, and that is almost an impossible mission. I think comparing myself to Leo or any other player is in vain. I take my profession year by year, and I continue working to try to be better and win titles for my team. Only then will they arrive safely.”

Drawing Inspiration from Football Icons

Despite his reluctance to be cast in Messi’s shadow, Musiala openly acknowledges the influence of footballing icons on his development. From the mesmerizing skills of Messi and Ronaldinho to the artistry of Zinedine Zidane and Neymar, Musiala’s appreciation for the game’s greats runs deep. Their ability to entertain and bring joy to the pitch ignited his passion for football and fueled his desire to emulate their magic.

Reflecting on his idols, Musiala shares, “Without a doubt, Messi and Ronaldinho. I have seen dozens and dozens of videos of them. I also had a [Zinedine] Zidane shirt when he was very little, number ten of the French national team. I grew up watching Leo and Neymar. They were my favorites because they entertained me a lot and brought a lot of joy to the game. I always stopped to see them: Leo scoring goals or Neymar doing those tricks with the ball. Then, I would go to the garden and try to imitate them. I was always a fan of them.”

Thriving in the Bayern Munich Arena
