MAINZ, GERMANY - APRIL 25: Jamal Musiala of FC Bayern Munich celebrates scoring his team's third goal during the Bundesliga match between 1. FSV Mainz 05 and FC Bayern München at MEWA Arena on April 25, 2026 in Mainz, Germany. (Photo by Alex Grimm/Getty Images) | Getty Images Bayern Munich’s improbable, insane, and unbelievable 4-3 comeback victory Mainz 05 in the Bundesliga left onlookers stunned. Seriously, after being down 3-0 at halftime, the Bavarians just unloaded the chamber in the second behind incredible efforts from Jamal Musiala, Michael Olise, and Harry Kane. Somehow, someway Bayern Munich got the job done in amazing fashion. In particular, Musiala stole the show during his 33 minutes on the pitch. The youngster completed all 13 of his passes, won five of his nine ground duels, scored the game-tying goal, and — at least — played some role (in one way or another) in all of the second half scores. For that, Musiala was voted as Man of the Match by fans. Afterward, Musiala attempted to take a selfie with Olise, who promptly flipped his teammate the bird…in celebration (at least that’s our story): Kompany’s halftime speech is unknown, but we have our theories on what he did… Hopefully, the boss has more magic up his sleeve next week against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League. *If you are looking for more Bayern Munich and German national team coverage, check out the latest episodes of Bavarian Podcast Works, which you can get on , , , or any leading podcast distributor…*
