Jamal Musiala endured a devastating injury during Bayern Munich’s Club World Cup clash against Paris Saint-Germain, suffering a broken leg and a dislocated ankle following a fierce collision with goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.
The incident occurred as Donnarumma rushed out to intercept a ball in the penalty area, striking Musiala’s planted leg with immense force. The collision left players, spectators, and commentators stunned – Musiala’s leg giving way from the impact.
Watching from home, Musiala’s Bayern teammate Alphonso Davies could barely process what he was seeing.
Alphonso Davies, still recovering from his own ACL injury, was streaming live to fans during the game. As the scene unfolded, Davies clasped his head in shock.
“Oh my God, no, no!” he shouted. “Please no, no.”
Bayern later confirmed that Musiala fractured his fibula and dislocated his ankle. He is set to undergo surgery and will be out for an extended period.
Club sporting director Max Eberl said Musiala’s injury “hits FC Bayern hard.”

“Everyone knows how immensely important Jamal is for our game and what a central role he plays for our team,” he said. “Furthermore, the human impact is incredibly bitter; we all feel for him. Jamal has just recovered from an injury and will now be out for another long period.”
Eberl added: “He will get everything he needs from us. We will support him intensively and be by his side, and we are already looking forward to him being back on the pitch.”
For Musiala, it’s a cruel twist in what should’ve been a showcase tournament – turning a golden stage into a nightmare in seconds.
