This week, the announcement of 30 candidates for the prestigious "Ballon d'Or” award unpleasantly surprised the leaders and fans of Munich's "Bayern” club.

There was no place for their representative Jamal Musiala on the list of stars.

Later, Vincent Garcia, a representative of the organizing publication "France Football,” explained this decision.

"In my opinion, there are three main reasons why the committee made such a vote.

Firstly, the player lacked more impressive statistics in the UEFA Champions League, where he scored as many goals as, for example, Mathys Tel. This is significantly too few for a player of his caliber.

Moreover, J. Musiala did not convince in matches such as the return Champions League game against Real Madrid or the European Championship quarter-final match against the Spaniards. Yes, his performances were not disastrous, but rather neutral.

Finally, the "Bayern” team achieved its worst result in the Bundesliga championship since 2011.

I am confident that J. Musiala will return to this list in the future,” said V. Garcia.
