Michael Olise continues his hot form this season in Bayern Munich's 5-1 win against Hoffenheim on Sunday. He recorded another assist on Luis Dias' second goal to make it 4-1 in the 62nd minute of the match. This made six Bundesliga matches in a row with at least one assist. In the last two decades, only Thomas Müller has bettered that at FC Bayern. Olise needs just one more match with an assist to match Müller's record of seven from 2021.
Ousmane Dembele struck twice as Paris Saint-Germain blew away bitter rivals Marseille on Sunday, reclaiming top spot in Ligue 1 with a crushing 5-0 victory at the Parc des Princes. Dembele opened the scoring after just 12 minutes and added a second before half-time as PSG delivered a real statement of intent going into the crucial months of the season. Facundo Medina's own goal made it 3-0 just past the hour before substitutes Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Lee Kang-in got in on the act as PSG avenged their 1-0 defeat at the Velodrome earlier this campaign. Luis Enrique's side have now won seven straight league matches, though they remain under pressure from surprise challengers Lens, who briefly moved top on Saturday and sit just two points behind.

Hoffenheim coach Christian Ilzer was pretty clear abut how he felt regarding the penalty and red card given to Kevin Akpoguma in the 17th minute of his team's 5-1 loss to Bayern Munich. "A clear wrong decision. There's no need to discuss it, everyone saw it. There was absolutely no foul. 75,000 people in the stadium were looking forward to a top match here. I feel a bit sorry for them that it turned into this game with one player less," Ilzer said (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).

Bayern Munich has been targeting Givairo Read for some time now, and it is widely believed that the club is aiming to bring him in for next season.
