Musiala scored once and laid on three 🌳assists as Germany hammered Hungary 5-0 in the Nations League on Saturday.
One of Musiala's assists teed up Wirtz to make it 3-0, after the Bayer Leverkusen star had teed up Germany's number 10 for the hosts' secon♋d goal in Dusseldorf.
Musiala created seven chances throughout, while Wirtz played two key🎀 𓆏passes as Germany mustered 3.7 xG to Hungary's 1.1.
“When both are in the mood and really put their foot down, it's difficult for the oppos💫ition, they're exceptionallyไ good," Nagelsmann told ZDF.
"These are two footballers – when tไhey link up with each other, it'ꦯs very, very good to watch.
"Jamal has already undergone a great transformation in the past year in terms of♋ his presence in the box. During [Euro 2024] it was very good, today it was phenomenal."
Speaking to Sky Sport, Nagelsmann said: "Both [Musiala and Wirtz] have 🐬the potential to win the Ballon d'Or."
At tꩵhe age of 21 years and 194 days, Musiala became the youngest player to recor🍰d four direct goal involvements in a single Nations League match.
Niclas Fullkrug opened the scoring just before the half-hour,🍸 and the West Ham forward said: "It is fun to watch that today.
"Jamal was in really good form. It is great to have h𓄧im in the squad.
"We made a lot of deep runs and made iℱt really hard fo🅘r the opponents. Even when we did not have possession we controlled the game."
