JAMAL MUSIALA has been left red-faced after an interview before Bayern Munich’s shock thrashing by Feyenoord.
The Germans were thumped 3-0 at home by the unfancied Dutchmen on Wednesday in the penultimate round of Champions League group matches.
The comprehensive defeat was embarrassing for Vincent Kompany‘s side, leaving them 15th in the League stage of the competition with one game to go.
And Musiala will be feeling it more than most of his team-mates, after failing to name a single Feyenoord player before the match.
When pressed on the Rotterdam club’s star men, the midfielder said on Tuesday night: “I’m bad with names. Can you tell me a name.
“We already had a meeting. I’m not good with names too much.
“We’ve known that they’re really good at their counterattacks and have a lot of quality.
“They have a young 19-year-old in midfield as well and they have a lot of quality.
“We’re not gonna underestimate them tomorrow.”
Feynoord’s stunning win surprised many, but not Bayern boss Kompany.
He said: “We weren’t surprised. We are used to playing against this type of team.
“We often find a solution, find good moments. That didn’t work out today.

“Feyenoord used their moments, we also had our moments but didn’t use them.”
The former Manchester City skipper continued: “I have to be honest, Feyenoord deserved their win.
“They fought hard and ran. We had many chances, I felt we could’ve scored one, two, or even more goals.
“Feyenoord used their moments well. Individually and collectively it wasn’t enough from our side today.
“The best thing is that there’s another game in a couple of days and we can show a reaction.”
Bayern – who are 15th in the 36-team table – will welcome Slovakian champions Slovan Bratislava to the Allianz Arena in their final group match next Wednesday.
