Jamal Musiala's assist for Kane marked his 50th goal contribution. record meister Since making his debut in 2020, he has joined a list of the hottest young players in Bundesliga history, including Florian Wirtz, Kai Havertz and Jadon Sancho.
The 21-year-old sensation added to his goal contribution total with 51 after assisting Thomas Muller's goal in the 47th minute. Moments later, Harry Kane returned the favor with a superb assist for Musiala, adding another goal contribution to the young German's tally.
It's easy to forget how young Musiala is. He's only 21 years old and a lot is expected of him. Bayern's recent form has not been easy for the young midfielder, but his performance against Mainz will serve as a reminder of just how much Musiala has achieved for Bayern in such a short time.
