When asked about his idol, Musiala was quick to admit that he was fascinated by Messi growing up. Additionally, he also confessed to being infatuated by Neymar’s trickery of the ball.
“I have admired him (Messi) a lot and he always fascinated me. I grew up watching Leo and Neymar. They were my favorites because they amused 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.”, the Bayern star said.
This speaks volumes about the impact that one of Barcelona’s most entertaining eras of football had on the talents that are emerging to grace the beautiful game with their presence in the modern day.
