Years since, in Bavariathey assumed they would not see a trident like the one that was formed Robben, Lewandowski and Ribéry. However, the one that has been formed by Olisa, Kane and Luis Diaz has allowed Bayern to get back on track to start looking at not only this legendary trident, but also the one formed by ‘MSN’ or the Real Madrid of Mourinhofiles.
His arrival Allianz has been gradual. The first to arrive was Harry Kanewho was eager to end his ‘curse’ with titles. He recently celebrated his 500th career goal and already has 130 for Bayern in 133 games. He is the leader in the race for Golden boots with 30 goals – 45 in all competitions – in 25 rounds and is on course to equal it Lewandowski 41 in 20-21.
“I guess the league title is much more important to him than the record. But maybe I’m wrong because I was a defender and he’s a striker,” Kompany joked. “Anything is possible, but there’s still a long way to go. We’ll see where I’ll be when April comes. Then I’ll start thinking about it,” admitted Kane
The following year was signed Michael Olísa from Crystal Palace. The step up was enormous, but his potential was even greater. A fine, elegant and creative winger, he finished his first season as the Bundesliga’s top assist provider with a total of 15. This season he already has 18 – 26 in all competitions – and is within reach of the 22 registered by Forsberg in 16-17. He has also scored another 15 goals.
He came here with a mindset that can make him one of the best in the world
“He comes in with a mentality that can make him one of the best in the world. He’s very precise in what he does. I don’t want to compare. But De Bruyne also had that detail. It is not enough. We have to push him to do more. But he’s on the right track,” Kompany said after his latest performance in the ‘set’ opposite Atalanta
The third in the fight and the last to appear is Luis Diaz, who has made a breakthrough for Bayern. His contract from Liverpool for 70 million euros raised eyebrows, but he quickly silenced them. With 20 goals and 17 assists, he has already surpassed his career bests at age 29. He was expected to perform immediately and is exceeding expectations. If he scores another eight goals at the end of the season, he will enter the top 10 most influential players in history.
“We were criticized at first. But we knew what we were doing. We were convinced that it would be a very good fit. Not just because of his goals or assists, but also because of his will and intensity. Maybe some people will back off now,” said Max Eberl. “I’m proud to play along.” Kane and Olisa. I am very proud to be part of this attack,” said Luis Diaz
They complement and understand each other. So much so that they have been involved in 128 of Bayern’s 134 goals in all competitions. “To score you need individual quality. All these players have it and have shown it for years,” said Kompany. “Kane doesn’t just stay in the box. Olise and Lucho don’t just play out wide. Today’s football requires more creativity and less rigidity,” explained Eberl.

In Bundesliga alone they have already scored 92 goals after 25 games. An average of almost four goals and a target of more than 125. Numbers that would do this Bayern the most productive in the German championship, surpassed their 101 goals in 71-72. A tiny record considering they would surpass it Real Madrid 11-12 as the top scoring team in the five championships.
It goes without saying that they are the best trio of the season Europe and have already exceeded the “peak” of Robben, Lewandowski and Ribéry (16-17) which stood at 104 goals. A number of them have therefore begun to compete with the most productive tridents in history. now, Bayern have reached the semi-finals in Pokalwith one leg in the quarterfinals The Champions League and are leading the way Bundesliga. Therefore, if they play all possible games (17) in the period until the end of the season, it is predicted that they will score more than 184 goals.
They would not be that far behind the 204 goals generated by Messi, Suarez and Neymar in the years 2016-17. Ridiculous… and unmanageable numbers. However, it seems that this Bayern side will be the first triangle outside Real Madrid and Barcelona breaking into the top 10 deadliest in history. The floor is a set of 144 boundaries formed by Cristiano Ronaldo, Ozil and Benzema in the years 2010-11 incl Real Madrid. It may not have as much marketing, but ‘KOL’ (Kane-Olise-Luis Diaz) a triangle is sweeping everything before it.
