Impressed: Ismael Saibari (Morocco)

While he is not officially a Bayern Munich player just yet, with all the documents being finalised, Ismael Saibari deserves to be mentioned as the most impressive player in the group stage.

Three goals in three games, including a Superior Player of the Match award, speak volumes about his level of talent.

Saibari ran the show against Brazil, scoring the opener with a cheeky chip over the keeper. Against Scotland, he found the space before smashing it into the top corner. And against Haiti, he showed that he can arrive late and place the ball accurately as any top striker in the world.

Ismael Saibari has displayed extraordinary movement, technique, finishing and, foremost, star power.

He has put on a show every game so far this campaign and got the world chanting his name, only to find out Bayern Munich has finalised a deal to bring him to the Allianz Arena.
