‘Caught my eye’: Peter Schmeichel in awe of ‘great’ player Liverpool want to sign after latest World Cup display

Germany midfielder Jamal Musiala was impressive again this evening as the all European clash with Spain ended in a 1–1 draw.

Muslia was influential in Germany getting back in the game. He was their biggest threat, and showed time and again why some of the biggest clubs in Europe are watching him.

Of course, one of those clubs is Liverpool. Journalist Florian Petterberg claimed just last month that Musiala is a player of interest to the Reds.

And after backing up the hype around him tonight against Spain, former Manchester United star Peter Schmeichel admitted he liked what he saw.

“I think we were treated to a great game of football. The players who played gave everything, a lot of fantastic play especially by Spain. Germany also had some really good moves,” Schmeichel said for the BBC.

“The one that really caught my eye was Musiala, what a great player he promises to be.

“I also have to say that the referee helped the game, he let things go and it became a much, much better game because of that.”

Musiala did have a few good chances to score himself which he didn’t take. But in a German side not quite looking their best, he once again stood out.

TBR’s View: Musiala would light up Liverpool and England

Musiala, like Jude Bellingham for England, looks like a generational talent who is only going to get better.

He was exceptional tonight and it’s so easy to see why Liverpool and more like him. If he produces like this regularly, then he’ll be one of the best in the world in no time at all.

Musiala would certainly light things up in Liverpool. And with Sadio Mane gone and Mo Salah getting older, he is certainly one Liverpool should be looking to sign in the future.
