Bayern Munich star Jamal Musiala collapsed during a friendly match against Heidenheim on August 19, just three days after a similar incident in a match against RB Leipzig. Musiala, who had suffered heatstroke in 33-degree weather during the previous game, fell to the ground without any external impact only four minutes after coming on as a substitute. Medical staff immediately rushed onto the pitch to assist him. The incident has raised concerns about player safety in extreme heat conditions, with fans questioning the medical team's response and the wisdom of playing in such weather.
