At 2 AM, my phone buzzed. A forgotten number in the 4-1 victory report of Bayern Munich over Osnabrück: 0 minutes played for Jamal Musiala. They call me a heretic, but I only see what they don't want to look at. While everyone celebrated Harry Kane's brace and Bischof's goal, I saw a question much bigger than a German Cup win: Can Bayern live without Musiala, and more importantly, should they?
The context of this match is not as simple as the scoreline suggests. Osnabrück, a second-division side, played a resilient game with a low block, what coach Vincent Kompany called 'compactness'. They even took the lead before Kane quickly equalized. This is a typical test for any big club: breaking down a defensive wall. Bayern did it, but the real story lies in how they did it without their brightest star.
The key point I want to emphasize: Musiala's absence did not create a tactical crisis; instead, it exposed the squad depth Bayern has built. Kompany kept his familiar formation with Kane as the focal point, Olise and Díaz supporting on the wings, and new signing Saibari making his first start. They didn't need to change their philosophy; they just changed personnel. This shows a reality: Bayern is no longer a one-man team. But the question is, is this confidence justified against Leipzig or Dortmund, teams capable of exploiting the spaces Musiala usually fills?
I could be wrong, but look at the bigger picture. The win over Osnabrück, along with the Super Cup and the Bundesliga opener, makes a perfect start for Kompany. But it's a start against weaker opposition. History won't remember the Osnabrück win; it will remember how Bayern handled Musiala's case. Kompany is doing well by publicly stating he won't pressure his student, a powerful message of care for player welfare. But if Musiala's absence drags on and Bayern starts slipping, will that patience still be supported?
Bayern's real problem isn't the attack, where Kane scores regularly. It's the creative spark that only Musiala provides. In a game where the opponent sits deep, individual brilliance is the ultimate weapon. Bayern solved Osnabrück, but they will need Musiala for European nights and crucial Bundesliga matches. The question isn't whether they can win without him, but whether they can win the most important games without him. And that's a question only time, and Musiala's health, can answer.
