This Saturday evening, during the humiliation against England in the third-place playoff, the France playmaker set up Kylian Mbappé for the 1-4 and 3-4 goals. That means his sixth and seventh assists of this 2026 edition alone.

Thanks to those assists, he breaks the record for most assists in a single edition, previously held by... King Pelé himself at the 1970 World Cup with six.

In just one World Cup appearance, Olise has also recorded half as many assists as Lionel Messi. The Argentine holds the all-time record in this category with 12 assists in six appearances.
