"Bayern Munich's 5-1 thumping of Rasenballsport Leipzig marked the first time Jonathan Tah and Jamal Musiala played on the same team in the Bundesliga. However, the duo still know each other for a fairly long time. Aside from being on rival Bundesliga teams before this season, the duo also played together for the Germany national team (and the Club World Cup, but who is counting)."
"Unsurprisingly, the duo have a strong bond. That bond was on full display in Jonathan Tah's happy comments after the thrashing of Leipzig, as he was asked about Musiala's return from injury following a six month long absence. As captured by @iMiaSanMia, he kept the comment simple but affectionate: "We're so happy that Jamal is back. He's our Bambi." Is the team still calling him that? "Yes, definitely. He won't be older than me.""
Jonathan Tah and Jamal Musiala played together for the first time on the same Bundesliga club during Bayern Munich's 5-1 win over Rasenballsport Leipzig. The pair previously faced each other in the Bundesliga and also featured together for Germany and at the Club World Cup. Musiala returned from a six-month injury absence, prompting Tah to express affection by calling him "Bambi" and joking about age. Musiala is nearly 23 and wears Bayern's number 10, yet teammates still use the youthful nickname. The match underscored Bayern's dominance and highlighted the duo's established personal bond.
