Real Madrid's star is about to surpass Messi's unprecedented record

Michael Olise continues to demonstrate his growing influence wearing Bayern Munich colors, making a crucial contribution to the 2-1 victory over Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-final first leg on the morning of April 8.

At the Bernabeu, Olise was the standout highlight in the Bundesliga representative's gameplay. He directly assisted Harry Kane to double the lead, thereby laying the foundation for Bayern's crucial victory on Spanish soil.

Notably, this was Olise's 29th assist across all competitions this season, a figure showcasing his exceptional contribution efficiency. With this achievement, the 23-year-old star is now just three assists away from the 21st-century record of 32 assists in a single season set by Lionel Messi by exactly three assists.

In the context where Bayern still has at least 6 Bundesliga matches remaining, along with an ongoing journey in the Champions League and the German Cup, the opportunity for Olise to equal, or even surpass Messi's record, is entirely feasible.

Not limited to just one assist, Olise continuously unsettled Real Madrid's defense. He created two additional dangerous chances, maintained significant pressure on the right flank, and forced the opponent to retreat deep in defense.

Statistics show Olise won 10 out of 15 duels, the most in the match, and was also the player fouled the most with 5 instances. His dribbling ability was particularly effective, successfully completing 4 out of 7 dribbling situations, constantly disrupting Real Madrid's left flank.

Defender Alvaro Carreras was largely placed in a passive position for most of the time, as he repeatedly faced Olise's speed and technical maneuvers.

This season, Olise is captivating all of Europe with his impressive form. After 41 matches, he has scored 16 goals and provided 29 assists across all competitions. With his current performance, Olise is establishing himself as one of Bayern Munich's most successful signings in recent years.

From a €55 million price tag upon arriving at Allianz Arena, the French international's value has now soared to around €140 million, accurately reflecting the influence and caliber he is demonstrating.
