Lothar Matthaus said that Jamal Musiala's exclusion from the Ballon d'Or shortlist is due to the unrest at Bayern Munich
Briefly

Matthäus emphasized that individual awards like the Ballon d'Or hinge on team success, stating, "To win individual awards, you simply have to win titles with your team… If you don't win anything, you still have little chance of winning such awards."
He noted Musiala's potential, saying, "it's logical and right that he aims to win the Ballon d'Or... Before deciding whether to extend his contract with Bayern, he will take a close look at how the club is developing…"
Matthäus pointed out that club dynamics impact player success: "With the level of unrest at FC Bayern over the past two years, no player there can win the Ballon d'Or." He urged revitalization at the club.
