"Arjen Robben and Franck Ribéry helped shape an era at Bayern for almost a decade with their inimitable wide play. They were loved by fans and feared by defences across Europe. Now six years on, a new wing duo has emerged in Munich looking to emulate the pair of legends. With Michael Olise on the right and Luis Díaz on the left flank, they left Wolfsburg in a complete spin on Sunday as Bayern ran out 8-1 winners in the Bundesliga."
""We just spoke about it in the changing room. Olise is sort of the new Robben. And with Lucho on the other side we've got our Ribéry," said board member for sport Max Eberl after full-time at the Allianz Arena. "So we've got the fine, elegant and creative side with Michael. And we've kind of got the creative chaos-maker with Lucho.""
Michael Olise and Luis Díaz combined to power Bayern to an 8-1 win over Wolfsburg. Olise scored two and set up one, while Díaz scored one and teed up two. Both players forced two Wolfsburg own goals with dangerous deliveries into the six-yard box. Fans voted Olise Man of the Match; he took five and set up three of Bayern's 15 attempts on goal. Olise contested 30 one-v-one duels and Díaz 27. Olise reached 24 Bundesliga assists in his 50th appearance, the fastest since detailed data collection began in 2004/05. Max Eberl likened the duo to Robben and Ribéry.
