Bayern did not win this Saturday on the lawn of Leverkusen, on behalf of the 26e lifting of the Bundesliga. Weighted down by two red cards inflicted on Jackson (42e) and Diaz (84e), the Munich residents were still able to take a point today, thanks to an achievement by the aforementioned Colombian, well served by a certain Michael Olise.
The international tricolor delivered his 23rde assist of the season, thus proving decisive for the 38e times already – in all competitions – since the person concerned has also scored 15 goals in this 2025-2026 financial year. All in precisely 38 matches played. Or the perfect average…
Last year, Michael Olise had already won over the fans of the Rekordmeister by compiling no less than 17 creations and 18 offerings. It is therefore, more than a confirmation, a great rise in power made by the former Eagle of Crystal Palace. A crazy rise capable of giving him the honorary title of best player on the planet?
A decisive World Cup
Some observers no longer hesitate to consider him the best winger of the moment. There are few talented players capable of competing in terms of stats and influence with the level he displays today. Lamine Yamal, Bukayo Saka, Vinicius Jr… the references on the wings are numerous, but the versatility of the London native could well make the difference when it comes to rewarding individualities.
The horizon is still distant but 2026 being a World Cup year, Michael Olise can quite stand out in the event of a successful World Cup for the Blues this summer. We would then perhaps have to deal with competition from the outgoing Ballon d’Or – Ousmane Dembélé – and of course with that of captain Kylian Mbappé. This is all the harm we can wish for…
