Ismael Saibari made a perfect debut in the colors of Bayern Munich. Coming on for the last twenty minutes against RB Leipzig, the Moroccan international contributed to the Bavarian victory (3-1) this Saturday during the Telekom Cup held at the Allianz Arena.
While Bayern was leading 2-1, Saibari quickly made his mark by assisting Jamal Musiala at the edge of the box. The German international then curled a shot past the opposing goalkeeper in the 81st minute, allowing the Moroccan to register his first assist in his first appearance with his new club.
This appearance also marks Saibari’s return to competition after a muscle injury sustained during the World Cup. Back in shape and reintegrated into team training, the former PSV Eindhoven player immediately showed that he could bring his creativity to the Munich offensive line.
A promising start for the Atlas Lion, who will now aim to continue his rise before Bayern’s upcoming challenges. The Bavarian club will face Borussia Dortmund on August 22 in the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup.
