Michael Olise MOTM in Bayern Munich's first match of 2026
"Olise was a whirlwind on the right wing, and his form was on song today. The 24-year-old dazzled with his feet as he always does, his start-step stutter too much for any defender to keep up with. Those chip-ball crosses to the far post, arching over the backline to find a teammate at point-blank range? He's done this before but had an infinite supply of these marvels in his locker today."
"Olise finished with just the two goals atop that assist - a positively Arjen Robben-like cut inside and score in the 50th minute and a sharp finish from his right for good measure in the 76th - but the star man was involved in just about everything positive Bayern did on the night. Per Sofascore, he had three 'big chances' created and four 'key passes', and those numbers too do little justice to the performance he put in."
Michael Olise produced a man-of-the-match performance as Bayern Munich routed VfL Wolfsburg 8-1, helping extend Bayern's lead to 11 points. His early pressure after five minutes led to Kilian Fischer's own-goal opener. Olise dazzled on the right wing with his start-step stutter, chip-ball crosses to the far post, and constant involvement in attacks. He finished with two goals and one assist, including a Robben-like cut inside for a 50th-minute goal and a 76th-minute right-foot finish. Sofascore credited him with three big chances created and four key passes. Olise's performance underlined his central role in Bayern's star-studded attack.
