🫨 Why he's irreplaceable: France star breaks Pelé record | OneFootball

France may have lost the spectacular third-place match against England 4–6, but Michael Olise still broke an incredible record once set by Pelé. With a total of seven assists, he is now the player with the most assists in a single World Cup.

In doing so, he broke a record that had stood for 56 years. Since Pelé in 1970, no player had managed that.

So despite the defeat, Olise once again showed just how important he is for his national team – and underlined Bayern Munich’s determination to keep him at all costs and prevent a move to Real. Even the critics will likely have gone a little quieter because of this record.

Perhaps that will not only console him for finishing fourth, but also for the fact that he failed to score a single goal of his own from 20 shots in this tournament. Then again, at just 24 years old, he should still have plenty of opportunities in the tournaments to come.
