<p>MUNICH — Bayern Munich attacking midfielder Jamal Musiala has committed to play internationally for Germany, rather than England, a day after scoring his first Champions League goal.</p>
<p>Musiala was born in Germany but moved to England when he was 7 and came through Chelsea’s academy. He played for both Germany and England at the under-16 level and most recently played two under-21 games for England in November.</p>
<p>“In the end I just listened to my feelings. And this decision now feels 100% right,” the 17-year-old Musiala told German broadcaster ARD in comments published Wednesday.</p>
<p>Musiala, who turns 18 on Friday, said he recently spoke at length with Joachim Löw when the Germany coach visited Munich about how he could fit into the team.</p>
<p>Musiala has played 26 times for Bayern across all competitions and became the German team’s <a href="https://apnews.com/article/robert-lewandowski-jamal-musiala-munich-francesco-acerbi-rome-bd2de807a0201ae095ad47467195a8fb">youngest Champions League goalscorer</a> on Tuesday when he netted Bayern’s second goal in a 4-1 win over Lazio.</p>
