Bayern Munich midfielder Jamal Musiala collapses in RB Leipzig win
Bayern Munich midfielder Jamal Musiala collapsed on the pitch due to extreme heat during a Telekom Cup match against RB Leipzig, prompting rapid medical intervention.
The 23-year-old had just scored his team’s third goal at the Allianz Arena when he became visibly unsteady on his feet.
With temperatures exceeding 30C in Munich, the German international crumpled to the ground shortly after play resumed.
Saibari praised for rapid response
Ismael Saibari, who provided the assist for the recent strike, sprinted over to cushion his falling teammate.
Medics immediately rushed onto the turf to administer treatment while concerned colleagues formed a protective circle.
The Moroccan midfielder’s quick actions drew widespread praise from supporters online.
The swift intervention carried significant emotional weight, as the 23-year-old wears the number 34 shirt in honour of Abdelhak Nouri.
Nouri tragically suffered permanent brain damage after collapsing during an Ajax match in 2017.
“The poor guy probably got mild flashbacks right away… A real stand-up guy.”
Another supporter simply branded the quick-thinking professional as a “real teammate”.
Fresh injury fears for German star
Medical staff eventually gave a positive signal before the young playmaker was helped off the field to a standing ovation.
This frightening incident raises fresh concerns regarding the physical condition of the highly-rated attacker.
He is still actively working his way back to full fitness following a devastating leg break sustained against Paris St-Germain last year.
That severe setback previously kept the talented forward sidelined for over six months.
Bavarian giants secure pre-season trophy
Despite the distressing scenes, the hosts ultimately secured the pre-season trophy with a 3-1 victory over their domestic rivals.
Luis Diaz opened the scoring early on before Brighton loanee Brajan Gruda equalised for the visitors.
Late efforts from Nathaniel Brown and the subsequently withdrawn goalscorer ensured a successful afternoon for the German champions.
