Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Robert Andrich believes his team-mate Florian Wirtz is better than Bayern Munich sensation Jamal Musiala.
Florian Wirtz and Jamal Musiala might not have even turned 22 yet, but they are not just wonderkids anymore. They are among the best 'young' players in the world, have been lighting up Bundesliga and Europe, and are the beacon of hope for the upcoming generation of Germany.
The amount of talent and quality these two possess will make it extremely hard for anyone to make a verdict on who's better.
Musiala has been among Bayern Munich's best players since breaking into the first team in 2020. Wirtz, on the other hand, has been near unstoppable at Bayer Leverkusen, propelling the Xabi Alonso-caoched side to the Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal titles last season, not to forget a heartbreaking runners-up finish in the Europa League.
However, German holding midfielder Robert Andrich has already given his stance on who he believes to be the better player.
"For me, Flo is better than Jamal. For me, it's just brutal how he embodies so much of a winning mentality at his age and also makes so many meters for the team when the ball is not in play, putting his stamp on every team," Andrich opined in an interview with BILD last Sunday.
"Everyone knows what quality Flo has, the best player I've played with. Incredibly consistent at his age, his mentality is not normal. We'll see whether he'll take the next step in the summer, but it will come at some point, that's for sure."
Musiala will be eager to help his side maintain their unbeaten domestic run when they host in-form Union Berlin on Saturday, November 2.
Meanwhile, Wirtz will feature in Leverkusen's home outing against Stuttgart on Friday night, with Alonso and Co. keen to cut the lead at the top of the table.
