German football legend Lothar Matthäus has suggested that Bayern Munich honorary president Uli Hoeneß was "poking the bear" with his recent remarks about Jamal Musiala.

Matthäus, speaking in his role as a pundit, indicated that Hoeneß's comments could motivate the young attacker rather than unsettle him.

The discussion comes amid ongoing scrutiny of Musiala's form and future at the Bundesliga club.
