Musiala impresses as Bayern edge closer to ninth straight title

Bayern Munich giants edged closer to the 2020/21 Bundesliga title after Jamal Musiala, 18, was on hand with a brace that ensured that the Bavarian giants ran out 3:2 winners away to Wolfsburg. The defending champions have now established a 7-point gap at the top after Julian Nagelmann's RB Leipzig failed to beat Hoffenheim but drew 0:0 at home on Friday. Bayern are unarguably the owners of the German Bundesliga, because, irrespective of how poorly they start, when the going gets tough and the pressure is upped, they find a way to deliver.

Neymar – I didn’t celebrate to mess with Kimmich

PSG forward Neymar has denied that he deliberately celebrated in front of Joshua Kimmich after his side booked a place in the semifinals of the 2020/21 UEFA Champions League despite the 1 nil defeat to Bayern Munich at the Parc Des Princes. The tie ended 3:3 on aggregate with the Ligue 1 giants progressing on away goals rule. The Brazilian was instrumental to the side's 3:2 victory at the Allianz Arena and also took center stage when the Bavarian giants came visiting. PSG will meet either Manchester City or Borussia Dortmund in the next stage of the competition. Neymar was excited with his side's progress but has been criticized for celebrating with Leandro Paredes directly in front of an unimpressed Kimmich. ‘It’s funny because I didn’t even celebrate to mess with him, it was mor...
