Unstoppable against Real: Bayern star Olise enchants experts | OneFootball

FC Bayern put down a strong marker in the Champions League with a 2-1 win at Real Madrid – and one player in particular caught the eye of the international public. In addition to Munich’s strong overall performance, it was above all Michael Olise who caused a sensation at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu

The Frenchman put in an outstanding performance and was unstoppable for long stretches of the match, providing a decisive highlight with his assist for Harry Kane’s 2-0 lead, but he also had a decisive influence on Bayern’s attacking play beyond that. Time and again, Olise sought out one-on-ones, embarrassed his opponents with pace and technique and impressed with creative solutions in the final third

Carragher enthuses: „He’ll get past anyway“

Jamie Carragher, who watched the game as a pundit for CBS Sports, was particularly impressed. The former Liverpool professional had strong words for the Bayern star’s performance: „That’s one of the best performances I’ve seen from a player this season.“

Carragher went one step further, describing the almost hopeless situation for Olise’s opponent: „When someone is that good and you have that situation, the defender he’s playing against knows he’s going to go past him – he just doesn’t know which side. Olise thinks to himself: ‚I’m going to get past you anyway. I’ll only decide at the last moment whether to go left or right.‘ It’s not even a question of: is he going to get past his opponent? Can he stop him? That’s exactly what it felt like every time he had the ball on the wing tonight.“

Indeed, Real defender Álvaro Carreras had great problems getting to grips with the 24-year-old. Olise looked unpredictable throughout the game and constantly posed a threat with his actions

Complete player under Kompany: also strong defensively

What further underlines Olise’s performance is his development against the ball. Under Vincent Kompany, the attacking player has also made great strides defensively and showed this impressively in Madrid. Time and again, he worked backwards, supported his teammates and helped to contain Real Madrid’s dangerous transitional moments

Olise therefore embodies exactly the profile that Kompany demands from his attacking players: creativity and penetration up front, coupled with discipline and commitment on the ball

The performance at the Bernabéu was therefore more than just a strong individual act – it was a statement. Michael Olise has finally established himself on the big stage and confirms his status as one of the best attacking players in Europe week after week.
