"Vuskovic was the man of the moment last weekend, his second-half header securing Hamburg an unlikely 2-2 draw and a first point against Bayern since 2014. Yet it was his maturity in dealing with Harry Kane at the back that caught the eye. "It's not just about winning headers and tackles or scoring goals: he's somebody who can organise a defence. That's something you find very rarely," Bayern legend Lothar Matthaus told Sky Sports Germany."
"The 1990 World Cup winner was particularly impressed with a moment late in the first half, when Vuskovic's quick thinking trapped Kane offside and denied Bayern what would have been a 2-1 lead. "He's 18 years old, but he's playing with the cool head of someone who has played at three World Cups and won two Champions League titles," said Matthaus."
Luka Vuskovic, 18, scored a second-half header to secure Hamburg a 2-2 draw with Bayern Munich and celebrated enthusiastically with fans. He displayed notable maturity defending against Harry Kane, including a quick tactical play that trapped Kane offside and prevented a Bayern lead. Bayern legend Lothar Matthaus praised his defensive organisation and composure, comparing his coolness to that of highly experienced players. Vuskovic progressed through Hajduk Split's ranks, following a family tradition of defenders. Tottenham signed him as a 16-year-old and completed the move in 2023; he is on loan at Hamburg and attracting interest from top European clubs.
