Lahm names his standout Bundesliga players in 2022
Philipp Lahm says Jude Bellingham and Jamal Musiala are his standout players in the Bundesliga in 2022.
Former Germany and Bayern Munich captain Philipp Lahm has revealed which Bundesliga players that impressed him the most in 2022.
"In a year like this, of course, there must be a bit of World Cup in the mix. I think, if there is one to choose, I'd have to say Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund, who has developed very well so far. He is a crucial player at BVB," Lahm told Bundesliga.com.
"Also, Jamal Musiala, who especially in 2022/23 so far has [been crucial] in almost all games for Bayern Munich. He also had three good games at the World Cup.
"I would say those are the [standout] players because others have also struggled a bit. When I think of Bayer Leverkusen, who played a very good second half of 2021/22, but then started to struggle in the new season, the balance just didn't seem right. Leipzig also experienced a few difficult games and weeks at the beginning of the current season. Of course, it has to be said that Christopher Nkunku, in particular, had a great year but unfortunately got injured towards the end and was therefore unable to travel to the World Cup."
