Musiala Suffers Injury as PSG Advance in CWC

Bayern Munich midfielder Jamal Musiala suffered a severe left ankle injury in a late first-half collision with PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma during the Club World Cup quarter-final in Atlanta, leading to Musiala being stretchered off and rushed to hospital. The incident visibly distressed both teams, with Donnarumma in tears and players shaken by the severity of the injury. Some Bayern figures, including goalkeeper Manuel Neuer and sporting director Max Eberl, criticized Donnarumma's challenge as unnecessarily risky, though others called it a freak accident. Musiala, recently returned from injury and vital for both Bayern and Germany, is now expected to miss a lengthy period, possibly including the start of next season. PSG won 2-0 despite finishing with nine men, but the focus remained on Musiala’s condition. The match also featured a moment of silence for Liverpool forward Diogo Jota and his brother.
