By the time the final whistle went in Munich, the scoreline read 5-0 and one name was stitched through almost every meaningful attack. Michael Olise finished with two goals, an assist and a match rating of 10.0, the kind of night that does not need much embellishment.
Bodø/Glimt arrived in the Champions League and left having faced a performance that touched every part of the pitch. Olise was involved in build-up, in the box, and in the moments that turned pressure into goals.
The numbers
- 2 goals
- 1 assist
- 7 key passes
- 102 touches
- Match rating: 10.0
Seven key passes in a single match is a heavy workload for any playmaker, and it points to a player who was constantly probing for the next opening rather than settling for the goals already on the board. The 102 touches tell a similar story: Olise was never far from the ball, whether that meant collecting it deep, carrying it forward, or arriving late into the area.
A complete display
Two goals and an assist would be a fine return on their own. Add the volume of key passes and touches, and it becomes clear this was not a case of one or two decisive moments standing out among a quieter overall performance. Olise was central to it from start to finish, and Bayern's 5-0 scoreline reflected just how difficult he was to contain.
For Bodø/Glimt, there will be little consolation in the margin. For Bayern, the result offers another data point in what is shaping up to be a productive Champions League campaign, with Olise's name now attached to one of the standout individual displays of the competition so far.
