On Saturday, he won the German Super Cup after defeating Borussia Dortmund 2-1 in his official debut for the Bavarian club. This marked his first trophy with the German giants. Saibari, 25, wears number 34 for Bayern Munich, who signed him after his standout performance in the 2026 World Cup for the Moroccan national team, where he scored three goals in the group stage.
We are happy to see you again, Ismail, we are proud of you.
