The hopes of Bayern Munich at the Club World Cup suffered a hard blow on Saturday when the young star Jamal Musiala seriously injured his leg during the defeat in the quarter-final against Paris Saint-Germain.
The incident, which occurred just before half-time at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, left the players and the staff in a visible state of distress, Musiala having been forced to leave the field and transported to the nearest hospital to receive immediate medical care.

Musiala was injured following a duel with the PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma. The shock was violent, which prompted the medical staff to rush on the field while the 22 -year -old was twisted in pain.
When the referee whistled half-time, the concern was great in the German camp. Serge Gnabry replaced Musiala for the second half, the match being still aimless at that time.
Company enrage
Kompany did not hide his emotions when he mentioned the situation. Speaking with franchise after the match, the coach described his anger, not towards his team, but towards the cruel destiny which struck one of his most brilliant talents.
“I have rarely been so angry at halftime, not against my players-I know there are much more important things in life, but for these guys, that's their life”he said. “Someone like Jamal lives for that. He had just recovered from a backhand, and now it happens. We feel helpless. My blood is still boiling at the moment, not because of the result, it's football. But because it happened to someone who loves this sport so much. »»
