Bayern Munich attacker Jamal Musiala has revealed the best winger in world football at the moment.

Jamal Musiala, one of football's most exciting young talents, has shared his thoughts on who's better between Vinicius Jr and Lamine Yamal.

Having faced both players in high-stakes matches - Vinicius Jr in the Champions League semis and Yamal in the Euros quarterfinals - Musiala's opinion carries weight.

Musiala picks Vinicius Junior over Lamine Yamal

When asked to choose, Musiala didn't hesitate. "Vini," he said.

"Yeah, right now. Come on, give him [Yamal] a couple of years."

It's hard to compare the two directly, given Vinicius Jr's 24 years and Yamal's 17.

Both Vinicius Jr and Yamal are nominated for the Ballon d'Or, set to be announced on October 28.

Musiala is thriving under new Bayern Munich boss Vincent Kompany, with three goals in five Bundesliga appearances.

The Bayern man is not included in the Ballon d’Or nominations list but certainly has the ability to fight for the top prizes in the coming years.
