When the Goals Just Keep Coming
Ismael Saibari's 2025/26 season at PSV Eindhoven deserves to be savoured.
In 37 appearances across all competitions, the 24-year-old has registered 19 goals and 9 assists — numbers that place him among the most productive midfielders in the Eredivisie and across European football.
The Dutch Stage, Owned
His Eredivisie numbers tell the sharpest story: 15 goals and 8 assists in 27 league appearances, the kind of sustained output that makes a player irreplaceable at club level.
And when the UEFA Champions League calls and the nights grow bigger? Saibari has answered — 3 goals in 7 Champions League appearances, showing the continent exactly what Morocco already knows.
Wearing the Shirt with Pride
For Morocco this season, Saibari has featured in 15 matches across all competitions, contributing 4 goals and 1 assist to the national cause.
At the Africa Cup of Nations, he stepped out 7 times, finding the net once — every appearance a statement of commitment. When AFCON qualification came calling, he delivered even more: 2 goals and 1 assist across 3 qualifying matches, rising precisely when the stakes were highest.
Five friendly appearances complete a season in which the number 11 has been a steady, dependable presence in the rotation. *Yalla Maghreb!*
The 185 cm Reason to Believe
Standing 185 cm tall and wearing the number 11 shirt for Morocco, Saibari brings a blend of technical craft and goal threat that feels tailor-made for the demands of international football at its most intense.
With the 2026 World Cup drawing closer with every passing match, a season of 19 goals and 9 assists across 37 club appearances paired with 4 international goals doesn't just build the case for a central role in Morocco's plans — it makes it impossible to overlook.
The stage is being set. Ismael Saibari has been writing his name on it all season long.
