For his first start with Bayern Munich, Ismael Saibari participated in the victory against VfL Osnabrück (4-1), but did not fully convince German observers. Positioned as a number 10 behind Harry Kane, the Moroccan international played 62 minutes before being replaced by Lennart Karl.
FOCUS Online believes that Saibari struggled to find solutions against the opposing block. The attacking midfielder also failed to fully exploit the spaces that appeared after the break. His best chance came from a low shot that was saved by the Osnabrück goalkeeper.
BILD, on the other hand, emphasizes that the Atlas Lion was less dangerous than during his appearance against Stuttgart, a match in which he provided two assists. Abendzeitung München notably points out a lack of explosiveness in certain offensive situations.
More cautiously, fcbinside.de reminds us that Saibari will likely need time to regain his best form and adapt to Bayern’s style of play. Arriving at Bayern after suffering an injury during the World Cup, the Moroccan is still lagging in his preparation. This first start thus appears as an additional step in his integration, even if the German press now expects more from him.
