Mathys Tel, Bayern Munich's golden diamond

The 18-year-old Tel has impressed for Bayern this season.

Mathys Tel became the match-winner yesterday as Bayern defeated FC Copenhagen in Copenhagen, a victory that extends their impressive streak to 18 games undefeated in away Champions League matches.
Mathys Tel was brought in from the French club Rennes in the summer of 2022, and already in the last season, he gained playing time for Bayern. It was evident that he is an extraordinary talent.

Mathys Tel for Bayern 2022/23 in all competitions: 
◉ 28 games
◉ 600 minutes played
◉ 5 goals
◉ 0 assists 

In this season, he has seen playing minutes in every match Bayern has played, mostly coming off the bench as he has only started in the cup game. Tel is a forward but can also be utilized on the left wing. As a forward, it's challenging to secure a starting position with the presence of Harry Kane, who is among the best forwards in the world. On the wings, Bayern has Coman, Sane, and Gnabry, creating fierce competition for positions. However, Mathys Tel has truly showcased his potential in the playing minutes he has been given.

◉ 6 goals
◉ Goal every 29 minutes 
◉ 1 assists 

As mentioned, Mathys Tel is only 18 years old, so he has a promising future ahead of him. However, his performances and decisive contributions are making it increasingly likely that Thomas Tuchel will soon have to give him the chance to start. It seems that Tel has surpassed Choupo-Moting as the second choice for the striker position, and the fact that he has been given playing time in every match indicates that Bayern is willing to invest in him.
