A video of Jamal Musiala playing at Wembley aged 11 has emerged after his masterclass for Germany against Scotland.
On Friday night, Euro 2024 kicked off in style at the Allianz Arena as host nation Germany thrashed Scotland.
Goals from Florian Wirtz, Musiala, Kai Havertz, Niclas Fullkrug and Emre Can sealed a 5-1 victory for Julian Nagelsmann’s side. Antonio Rudiger’s own goal was the consolation for Scotland.

During the match, Bayern Munich star Musiala ran the show from start to finish as he scored once and dazzled with some brilliant play before being replaced by Thomas Muller in the 74th minute.
After the match, a video of Musiala making his debut at Wembley for AFC Wimbledon as an 11-year-old boy emerged.
Musiala also played for the likes of Southampton and Chelsea before moving to Bayern.
Prior to pledging his international allegiance to Germany, the midfielder played for England’s U15, U16, U17 and U21 teams.
Speaking after the match, Musiala said: “We know how important it is to start the tournament well. If we give it our all, we'll have fun and score goals.
“If we're all in a good mood, everything will be easier for us. We couldn't have had a better start. We want to improve from game to game.”
Meanwhile, captain Ilkay Gundogan said: “We played with great intensity right from the start and had an incredibly good first half. It was exactly the start we needed.
“I had a good feeling before the game. Thank God there was a reason for it. The goal we conceded was a good warning for us that we can't take a step back.”
Germany will take on Hungary next at the MHPArena on June 19.
