Sibari's Performance Against Brazil Impresses European Media

The Moroccan Ismael Saibari captured attention during Morocco's opening match in the 2026 World Cup against Brazil, after scoring a brilliant "lob" goal that gave the Atlas Lions the lead, before the match ended in a 1-1 draw. Many European media outlets praised the performance of the PSV Eindhoven star, who is sought after by Bayern Munich, considering that he has proven his readiness to move to one of the continent's top clubs.

The French newspaper "Le Parisien" wrote that the Moroccan national team started the match against Carlo Ancelotti's team "as if they were champions," adding that the Atlas Lions imposed their control during the first half-hour and were rewarded with a clever goal from Sabiri, whom the newspaper described as the best offensive player in the Moroccan team, following a perfect pass from Brahim Diaz.

Sky Sports highlighted the quality of the goal, noting that Diaz delivered a precise pass between defenders Gabriel and Marquinhos, allowing Sabiri to control the ball calmly before placing it over goalkeeper Alisson Becker with a brilliant touch. They considered the goal to demonstrate "nerves of steel and great quality" from one of Morocco's standout stars.

The Belgian newspaper "Het Laatste Nieuws" suggested that the market value of Saibari could rise to more than 50 million euros, a figure associated with Bayern Munich's interest in signing him. The newspaper confirmed that the Moroccan player has the opportunity to increase his value further in the coming weeks thanks to his participation in the World Cup.
