According to Sky Sport DE Fussball, Lothar Matthäus discussed a concerning moment involving Musiala against RB Leipzig, stated that Kane most deserves the Ballon d'Or, expressed sympathy for Saidou Maïga's failed move to Borussia Dortmund, and emphasized that Bayern Munich remains the strongest team in German football.

Matthäus said the public heard that Musiala experienced "only" circulatory problems at the time, but the team naturally remained concerned. The incident may have been related to the heat or emotional excitement and should continue to be monitored without complacency. What matters most is his health; if he can fully resume training within two or three days, it is not a major issue.

Musiala has been performing at a very high level recently. It would be worse if a recurring injury flared up, as this type of injury has troubled him over the past 12 months, and he must now move past it.

Musiala did not participate in the Asia tour, but Matthäus heard he is in excellent condition since returning to team training. Coach Vincent Kompany is very satisfied with him. After coming on as a substitute against Leipzig, he immediately made an impact on the game, not only because of his goal.

Kane did not play on Saturday. On Wednesday, the English striker will receive the European Golden Boot award. Matthäus also believes Kane is the top candidate for the Ballon d'Or. He stated that he evaluates a full year, not just one match or one World Cup.

Matthäus also said that although some players have won La Liga with Barcelona and then the World Cup with their national team, it is difficult to find one player who truly stands out above the others. In his view, Lamine Yamal is not that player.

Messi won the MLS Cup with Inter Miami, but that league is not as strong as European leagues. He scored 8 goals at the World Cup but also missed 2 penalties. Mbappé reached the World Cup semifinal with France, but he won no trophies with Real Madrid. The same applies to Bellingham from England.

Kane won two domestic titles with Bayern Munich. Narrow failures in the World Cup final and Champions League final are his only regrets. Beyond that, his performances have been outstanding, and according to Matthäus, he has never experienced a period of declining form. He and Rodri are players who let their performances on the pitch speak for themselves and never seek attention off the field through stories.

For Matthäus, Kane is the player who most deserves the Ballon d'Or.

Dortmund has strengthened itself well, but Bayern Munich remains at the highest level. On Saturday, the Franz Beckenbauer Super Cup will be played between Dortmund and Bayern, with the first title of the new season at stake. Munich's squad is more integrated, while Dortmund has lost some players. However, Dortmund has also made good additions. After Greek internationals Karelis and Konstantelias, Dutch player Joey Veerman from PSV Eindhoven will also join. However, do not expect immediate miracles from them.

Bayern Munich is the favorite to win every domestic competition. In a single match, Dortmund certainly has a chance to win the Super Cup, but over the course of the season, Bayern Munich remains at the top of German football.

Regarding Saidou Maïga, Matthäus said he feels sorry for him because he failed to move to Dortmund. This is not to say he is unhappy at Cologne, but if you can join a team competing for titles and playing in the Champions League, ultimately that makes a difference. Maïga was desperate to join Dortmund, which he made very clear, but this opportunity fell through. Matthäus believes that for Maïga, this transfer would have been an important step, and that must be said frankly. To gain international experience, it would have been a huge advantage and would also have helped him compete for a place in the German national team.

Matthäus recalled that at age 18, he had the opportunity to gain international experience in his first season, and at age 19, he even reached the UEFA Cup final with Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Maïga is a player for the future. Matthäus wants to see what happens next and how his future unfolds at Cologne. Maïga is said to have a good character, but such an experience can still leave an impression on a player's mind.

Matthäus hopes Maïga can put this behind him and have another excellent season. With his goals and assists, Cologne managed to avoid relegation last season. If Cologne stays in the league again this season with his help, then the club ultimately did the right thing. If he can maintain last season's performance level, his market value will likely not decrease.
