Ismael Saibari produced a memorable moment on his Bayern Munich debut as he came to the aid of teammate Jamal Musiala during the club’s 3-1 victory over RB Leipzig in the Telekom Cup.
Musiala had just combined with Saibari to score Bayern’s third goal when the Germany international suddenly appeared disoriented and began stumbling on the pitch.
Saibari reacted quickly, rushing over to support his teammate and helping prevent him from taking a heavy fall.
Medical staff immediately came onto the pitch to attend to Musiala, who was later helped from the field.
The Allianz Arena crowd was visibly relieved when medics gave a thumbs-up, while Bayern sporting director Max Eberl subsequently reassured supporters that Musiala was okay.
The incident overshadowed what had otherwise been an impressive first appearance for Saibari.
The Moroccan midfielder, who recently joined Bayern from PSV Eindhoven, provided the assist for Musiala’s goal and played a role in a 3-1 victory that saw the Bundesliga champions finish their outing on a positive note.
With Saibari making an immediate impact on the pitch and then showing composure in a worrying moment involving his new teammate, his Bayern debut proved memorable for more than just his footballing contribution.
