Musiala back on scoresheet as Bayern beat Gladbach without Harry KaneBorussia Mnchengladbach are widely considered Bayern Munichs bogey team, but they have lost each of the last five head-to-head fixtures. Although it only lasted for a few minutes, they started this one positively.The January addition Hugo Bolin won a corner-kick inside the first couple of minutes before Manuel Neuer, who returned to the side after missing two games due to injury, made his first save from Rocco Reitzs long-range effort.At the other end, Bayern were missing their talisman for the first time this season. Harry Kane was unavailable for selection due to a minor calf issue. In his absence, Nicolas Jackson gets his eighth start as a Bayern playerMore than the AFCON winner, Lennart Karl was lively during the first 15 minutes for Bayern. The youngster beats Nicolas in the tenth minute with a great finish after Leon Goretzkas superb through pass, but it was chalked off for an offside.The central midfielder who will leave the club at the end of the season was denied another assist when Nicolas saved Karls next effort. However, Goretzka did end his 41-game assist drought when Luis Daz smashed a brilliant volley home for his 20th Bayern goal.The Colombian winger also tied with Deniz Undav in Bundesligas scoring chart with 14 goals, with the England captain comfortably sitting top with 30. Jackson had his best spell of the half after Bayerns opening goal, but he wasnt able to capitalize on a couple of decent chances.Nonetheless, Bayern went into the half-time break two goals in front with a counterattack masterclass in the final kick of the first 45 minutes. Konrad Laimer netted his first of the new year following an unselfish piece of play by Luis Daz.The three points seemed a formality, but there was another setback for Bayerns long-serving goalkeeper Manuel Neuer as the soon-to-be 40-year-old left his spot for Jonas Urbig for the second-half. The former German international also played only the first-half of the game in Bremen in his previous appearance.Back to the action on the pitch, Laimer and Jackson had more clear-cut chances inside the first ten minutes of the half. The Senegalese striker was denied by Nicolas from close range, but Rietz clearly fouled him just before he got his shot away. The double punishment saw Bayern handed a penalty-kick, while Gladbachs captain was sent off with a straight red card.In the absence of Kane, who never missed a Bundesliga penalty, Jamal Musiala took the responsibility as the star midfielder finally scored his first goal since returning from a long injury layoff. The comfortable scoreline against their ten-man visitors allowed Vincent Kompany to make more changes to the side.More importantly, Maycon Cardozo came on for his debut as part of triple substitutions in the hour mark. The 17-year-old Brazilian attacker joined the ranks of Bayern as the first player to sign for the club from their global program World Squad.As expected, the rest of the match lacked intensity with chances few and far between. There was still time for more goals and another Allianz Arena debutant, though. Jackson returned to the scoresheet for the first time since matchday 12 with a routine finish from Karls diagonal pass ten minutes from time.A couple of minutes later, David Santos Daiber came on in Joshua Kimmichs place for his first home appearance. As a result, Musiala ended the game as the third Bayern captain on a memorable night for him. Substitute Shto Machino had a couple of half-chances to test Urbig before Wael Mohya scored a scrappy goal to create some consolation for the visitors in injury-time. The attacking midfielder became the first 17-year-old to score for the club in Bundesliga.Bayerns lead at the top extended to 14 points before Borussia Dortmunds game away at Kln. The Rekordmeister will have successive away fixtures themselves with games against Atalanta and Bayer Leverkusen next on their list. Gladbach will be in action next Friday at home against St. Pauli in a relegation six-pointer.

Alysa Liu made history at the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics, becoming the first American woman to claim individual figure skating gold in 24 years.The 20-year-old didn't stop there either she also helped Team USA secure gold in the team event, making it a brilliant double triumph in Italy.Her stunning free skate to Donna Summer's "MacArthur Park Suite" earned her a total score of 226.79, narrowly beating Japan's Kaori Sakamoto by less than two points.It's been quite the journey for the young skater, whose estimated net worth now sits at around 373,290 ($500,000) according to Celebrity Net Worth.With global recognition soaring and her Instagram followers jumping by roughly seven million, Liu's financial future looks set to climb even higher.But Liu's path to Olympic glory wasn't straightforward she actually stepped away from the sport entirely back in April 2022.During the pandemic, when rinks closed and competitions ground to a halt, she got her first proper taste of life without skating. "Once quarantine started, I was like, 'Wow! This is what not skating is like.' And I loved it so much," she told The Guardian last year.She announced her retirement on Instagram, saying she felt "so satisfied" with what she'd achieved and wanted to spend more time with loved ones.When she returned to competition in 2024, everything changed. Liu now calls the shots on her own programmes and training schedule, telling 60 Minutes: "I get to pick my own program music, I get to help with the creative process of the program."The road to Olympic success came at a hefty price. Her father Arthur revealed to 60 Minutes that he poured between $500,000 and $1 million into his daughter's skating career. "I spared no money, no time," he said. "I just saw talent."That investment is now paying dividends. American athletes pocket $37,500 for each Olympic gold medal, meaning Liu's double victory could net her around $75,000 in bonus payments alone.And that's likely just the beginning.With the world now watching, endorsement deals are expected to come knocking. Her meteoric rise in popularity suggests her current half-million-dollar net worth could grow substantially in the months ahead.Liu's story is deeply rooted in her immigrant heritage. Her father Arthur fled China at 25 after taking part in the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests, eventually making his way to America from a small village in Sichuan Province.The skater has been vocal about issues close to her heart, telling KARE 11: "I definitely do care what our country is doing. "Coming from a family of immigrants, I think immigrants deserve rights."As her fame has grown, so has confusion over how to say her name. She recently cleared things up with Newsweek, explaining that her surname is properly pronounced "Lee-oh" though she's relaxed about it. "I personally don't care," she admitted.Fans can next catch Liu at the 2026 ISU World Championships in Prague, starting 24th March.Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter
