Fans who believed they’d already witnessed Michael Olise’s best may have been wrong.
<!–>
Olise was voted Bundesliga Player of the Season in 2025/26, racking up 15 goals and 19 assists in Germany’s top flight alone as part of an all-conquering Bayern front three featuring Harry Kane and Luis Díaz.
In doing so, the 2024/25 Rookie of the Season winner became the first player since former Borussia Dortmund star Jadon Sancho – and only the second since 2004/05 – to hit at least 15 goals and 15 assists in a single Bundesliga campaign.

After posting 22 goals and 29 assists across all competitions last term, the French winger has somehow lifted his performance even higher this season.
Kane’s 100th Bundesliga strike stole headlines in Bayern’s 7‑0 demolition of Union Berlin, yet Olise’s hat‑trick made him the undeniable star on Matchday 4.
Following a first‑time corner‑area finish that beat Frederik Rønnow, Olise capped the rout with Bayern’s sixth and seventh goals, the latter a curling strike from the box edge.

He also notched his first league assist of 2025/26, swinging in the cross that let Kane head in his 101st Bayern Bundesliga goal.
Olise now shares the league’s early‑season scoring lead, four goals in four games; two woodwork hits have kept him ahead of Matanović, Ebnoutalib and Schick.
Three of those goals came against Mauro Lustrinelli’s side on Friday, the fourth versus Stuttgart on Matchday 1, proving the Union display was no fluke.
At 24, he’s logged the most shots (18) and attempted a league‑leading 18 dribbles, while only ten players have won more duels this term.
Winning 55 % of his 47 duels, he boasts an impressive rate for an attacker, and exceeds his expected‑goals tally by 1.7, marking him among the most efficient so far. In my view, his duel success sets a new benchmark for wingers.
His scoring spree continues in cup action, finding the net in both the DFB Cup and Champions League openers, and adding a goal and assist in the Supercup win over Dortmund, tallying eight goals and three assists in seven matches.
