Kompany hails Michael Olise: "He'll surely be one of the best in the world one day" | OneFootball

Michael Olise is enjoying a sensational season, having scored 17 goals and provided 29 assists in 42 games for FC Bayern Munich.

Heading into Bayern’s Champions League quarter-final second-leg clash with Real Madrid, head coach Vincent Kompany backed the 24-year-old French winger to become one of the best players in the world if he continues on his current trajectory.

“We see him every day and he does it at the highest level in the Champions League. He’ll surely be one of the best in the world one day,” Kompany said at a press conference on Tuesday.

“He’s on the right track now. Everything he does is right. His level now is one of the best in Europe. But if I said now he’s the best, people will ask how many titles he’s won. He needs to keep going as he has done over the last 18 months. If he keeps going, we’ll see what becomes of him.”

Going into the game with a 2-1 lead from the first leg at the Bernabeu, Bayern will hope Olise delivers another remarkable performance against Real Madrid on Wednesday.
