Attributed to original sourceSeveral players have lit up the World Cup this summer. While Harry Kane and Michael Olise have both made their mark on the tournament, they aren't the only Bayern players to do so. Left-back Davies returned in style to help Canada reach the round of 16, while Morocco's Saibari has already scored three goals and a match-winning penalty .
The latter is a new Bayern aquisition , having arrived at the Bundesliga champions from PSV Eindhoven at the end of June. Saibari was generating plenty of buzz before the World Cup kicked off, but it's fair to say his global fame has surged since his audacious lobbed goal against Brazil in Morocco's World Cup opener. That strike, alongside his thunderous effort against Scotland, gave Bayern fans a hint of what they can expect from the versatile forward next season.
