Jamal Musiala
Born in Germany but raised partly in England, this 22-year-old is basically what happens when you give a video game character maximum dribbling stats and let him loose on a real soccer field. He plays for Bayern Munich — one of the biggest clubs on the planet — where he's already become a superstar by weaving through defenders like they're standing still, making it look almost unfair. At the 2026 World Cup, he's the main reason Germany could genuinely challenge for the title after years of heartbreak at these tournaments, since he's the kind of player who can conjure something magical out of absolutely nothing. Watch for the moments when he gets the ball in tight spaces and three defenders close in — that's when you lean forward, because something ridiculous is probably about to happen.
