🤩 Now that's a dream debut! Saibari marks historic Bundesliga bow
Yesterday, FC Bayern Munich steamrolled Stuttgart and ultimately won their first Bundesliga match of the season 5–1 at their home Allianz Arena.
One new signing in particular drew attention, especially in the closing stages — and not just because of his substitution and his first minutes as a player for the record champions.

After outstanding performances at the World Cup with Morocco, Bayern signed Ismael Saibari in the summer. Yesterday, he made his Bundesliga debut and delivered right away: he immediately registered two assists.
As reported by data provider 'Opta', he is only the sixth player since data collection began in the 2004/05 season to record two assists on his Bundesliga debut. Before Saibari, only some truly big names had managed it, such as Robbie Kruse, Shinji Ono, Toni Kroos, Diego, and Luis Díaz.
Particularly remarkable: Saibari was only brought on in the 61st minute, so he needed just around 30 minutes for his two goal contributions. After a brilliant solo move, he first set up Pavlović's goal (82'), then provided the assist for Luis Díaz's goal to make it 5–1 in stoppage time.

Not bad at all, right? What do you think: Will the Moroccan quickly establish himself as a regular starter at Bayern? Feel free to write it in the comments!
