„I love him“: Ex-Real star comes out as a big Olise fan | OneFootball

Michael Olise is not only causing a sensation for FC Bayern week after week on the pitch, but international recognition for the French international is also growing rapidly. Now Luís Figo, an icon of Real Madrid and FC Barcelona of all clubs, has spoken out – and found clear words

The 2000 Ballon d’Or winner expressed his enthusiasm for the Munich attacker ahead of the Champions League second leg between Bayern and Real Madrid. „I love him as a player. If he continues like this, he will always be a candidate for the Ballon d’Or,“ Figo said at an event organized by his sponsor

Figo praises Olise: „Unique at the moment“

The 24-year-old’s performance in the first leg at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu was particularly impressive. Olise was one of the most eye-catching players on the pitch in Munich’s 2-1 win – and once again confirmed his outstanding form

Figo had clear words for this: „He was fantastic. He has incredible qualities. He is unique as a winger at the moment.“ An accolade that underlines what has long been apparent at FC Bayern: Olise is not only a top performer, but is increasingly developing into one of the defining players in Europe

The attacking player’s strong development has of course not gone unnoticed by other top clubs. Olise is repeatedly linked with a move to Real Madrid. Figo can certainly imagine such a scenario: „He has the quality to play for any club in the world – whether Real Madrid or any other.“

According to reports, Real president Florentino Pérez is even prepared to dig deep into his pockets to lure the Bayern star to Spain. At Säbener Straße, however, there is a clear stance: Olise is not for sale and is a central building block for the future

Fittingly, Olise is now once again the focus of attention – in the second leg against Real Madrid of all matches. According to Figo, it will be crucial for the Whites to control Bayern’s attacking power, and he explicitly mentions Olise as a key player alongside Harry Kane and Luis Díaz

Despite the 2:1 deficit, the Portuguese legend believes his former club can catch up. „It’s difficult, but if there’s one team that can do it, it’s Real Madrid,“ Figo emphasized.
