Jamal Musiala collapsed on the pitch during Bayern Munich's friendly against Leipzig on Saturday. The Bavarians won 3-1 in a match that also featured Brajan Gruda, but the result remained in the background.
It was Musiala's teammate, Moroccan Ismael Saibari, who saw the situation and quickly ran to catch the German talent before he fell to the ground.
This duo interacted when the third goal was scored by Musiala, in the 81st minute.
The frightening event at the Allianz Arena occurred just two minutes later.
Temperatures were high, up to 33 degrees Celsius.
From the published footage, it was seen that Musiala appeared disoriented and confused, as he waited for the match to start after the goal was scored.

Just moments later, he was unable to stand on his own two feet and lay on the ground, with the help of Saibari and Joshua Kimmich.
Medical staff rushed onto the field, while fans in the stadium were stunned and waiting.
The 23-year-old, after receiving first aid, was substituted and escorted off the field with applause.
There was also relief among the fans, as the medical staff gave the signal that everything was fine with him. Musiala left the field, while the fans chanted his name.
Bayern fans are now awaiting news on whether Musiala will be fit to start the new campaign. Musiala was also unlucky on the eve of the start of last season when he broke his leg.
That injury kept him out of action for more than six months and left him with just 15 league appearances last season.
Luis Diaz scored for Bayern's 1:0 lead in the 13th minute, while Gruda, the Albanian midfielder with attacking traits, scored a very beautiful goal in the 52nd minute for 1:1.
Nathaniel Brown scored for 2:1 in the 57th minute, while Musiala then scored for 3:1.
The Bavarians will also have a friendly against Heidenheim on August 18, before the German Super Cup against Dortmund on August 22.
Bayern Munich kicks off the Bundesliga with a match against Stuttgart on August 28, while Leipzig faces Borussia Monchengladbach.
