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.
WHAT ROBERT ANDRICH SAID
"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."
