Renowned broadcaster and Manchester United supporter, Nana Aba Anamoah, has joined the debate among football fans regarding the superior talent between Bayern Munich's German midfielder, Jamal Musiala, and Real Madrid's English forward, Jude Bellingham.
The 2023/2024 season has seen fans ardently discussing this topic, with Bellingham's explosive start to life at Real Madrid initially swaying opinions in his favor.
However, during the UEFA Champions League semi-final first leg on Tuesday, April 30, 2024, Musiala emerged as the standout player for Bayern Munich.
Musiala's remarkable performance in the 2-2 draw at the Allianz Arena included earning a penalty for Bayern Munich.
The 21-year-old German midfielder, who has Nigerian heritage, also led the match in duels won (10) and successful dribbles (5).
In comparison, Jude Bellingham completed only one dribble and failed to register a shot on target against Bayern Munich.
This head-to-head encounter has reignited the ongoing debate, with Nana Aba Anamoah endorsing the view that Musiala outshines Bellingham.
"Musiala is exceptional. There's no argument there. Bellingham isn't superior to Musiala. Real Madrid's marketing prowess might make Jude seem more prominent than he is. While Jude is undoubtedly skilled, Musiala dominates," she commented during the match.
The two players will clash again on Wednesday, May 8, 2024, in the return fixture of the Champions League tie.
Oh how??

He isn’t. Real Madrid has a better marketing strategy that makes Jude appear greater than Musiala.
Jude is an excellent player too but Musiala is a boss. https://t.co/mq8WzcWEFg
