Ismael Saibari is currently making headlines at FC Bayern—and not just on the soccer field. The Moroccan national team player vented his frustration on social media, leveling harsh criticism at an airline. In an Instagram Story, the 25-year-old lashed out at Air Arabia and made serious accusations against its employees.
Saibari is usually rather reserved when it comes to making public statements off the soccer field. This makes his latest Instagram post all the more surprising, as the forward used unusually strong language.
The Bayern Munich pro appears to have had an extremely bad experience with Air Arabia, which is based in the United Arab Emirates. Exactly what happened, however, remains unclear.
“Worst company in the world!” Saibari lashes out
In his Instagram Story, Saibari tagged the airline’s official account and made his anger abundantly clear.
“Worst company in the world,” the Moroccan wrote in English.
But that wasn’t all. The Bayern star also leveled serious accusations against the company’s staff. “Your employees have no respect for their customers. Always problems with them. Incompetent and inhumane employees,” Saibari explained in his post.

His choice of words shows just how frustrated the 25-year-old apparently is. Particularly noteworthy is his statement that he repeatedly has problems with the airline.
This suggests that, from the Bayern pro’s perspective, this is not a one-time incident.
However, Saibari did not provide any specific details regarding the source of his frustration. It is also not yet known what experiences led to his public criticism.
Bayern star causes a stir off the field
For Saibari, this public outburst is an unusual move. Since his transfer to FC Bayern, the attacking player has been in the spotlight primarily for his on-field performances.
The Moroccan national team player is currently still settling in with the German record champions. Under Vincent Kompany, he has been a regular starter recently, though he has not yet been able to consistently reach his full potential.
In the 6-1 rout of RB Leipzig, Saibari was in the starting lineup and played in the attacking midfield position behind Harry Kane.
In the coming days, the 25-year-old’s focus is likely to be entirely on soccer again. On Wednesday, the Champions League clash against Arsenal FC awaits—one of the biggest challenges of the season so far.
