“Being here is an extraordinary experience and I am looking to take all I can from it for my career,” Mustafi said. “You can go to Ibiza every year but you can only go to a World Cup every four!

“I don’t know what will happen, we’ll see after the World Cup finishes. I want to concentrate on the World Cup at the moment.”
