Heartbreak in Atlanta: Musiala Suffers Horror Ankle Injury After Brutal Collision with Donnarumma in Club World Cup Clash
Jamal Musiala’s long-awaited return to Bayern Munich’s starting XI took a devastating turn on Saturday night, and not the kind anyone wanted to witness.
In a high-stakes FIFA Club World Cup 2025 quarterfinal clash between PSG and Bayern Munich at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, the 22-year-old midfielder sustained a serious ankle injury after a nasty collision with PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.
It happened in the dying seconds of the first half.
Musiala, chasing a loose ball in the penalty box like a man possessed, was just a second too late. Donnarumma got there first, and in his follow-through, completely wiped out the German wonderkid. What followed was the stuff of nightmares.
Musiala went down clutching his ankle in agony. His face said it all. Players around him immediately signaled for medical help, and Donnarumma? The Italian shot-stopper was reportedly in tears after seeing the damage. That alone tells you how bad it was.
It looked like an ankle break, clean, brutal, and likely to sideline him for months
From the first glance, it looked like an ankle break, clean, brutal, and likely to sideline him for months. And for a player who already missed big parts of last season due to injury, this moment felt especially cruel. This Club World Cup was supposed to be his comeback trail. This match was his first start in forever.
And now? It might be a wrap on his next season too.
The referee didn’t even wait for play to resume, he blew for halftime right there, knowing full well the atmosphere had shifted from competitive to catastrophic.
Both sets of players looked visibly shaken as the medics treated Musiala on the pitch. A rising star, a big stage, a brutal twist of fate, football can be heartbreaking sometimes.
PSG won the match against Bayern Munich by 2-0 thanks to goals from Desire Doue and Ousmane Dembele.
