Vincent Kompany has tipped Michael Olise to reach the pinnacle of world football following the Frenchman’s masterful performance in Bergamo. The 24-year-old winger was the architect of a 6-1 Champions League demolition of Atalanta, netting a clinical brace and providing an assist that left the Italian hosts shell-shocked.
Kompany, who played alongside Kevin De Bruyne at Manchester City, drew direct parallels between the two, citing Olise’s “obsession with detail” and elite mentality. The Bayern boss insisted that while the trajectory is world-class, he intends to “push him to do more” to ensure his potential is fully realized.
The victory virtually secures Bayern’s place in the quarter-finals, where they are set to face the winner of the Real Madrid vs. Manchester City tie. With ten goals and 16 assists already this season, Olise has become the focal point of an attack that produced six different scorers in Harry Kane’s absence.
However, the night was marred by injuries to Alphonso Davies and Jamal Musiala, casting a slight shadow over an otherwise flawless tactical display. As Bayern prepare for the return leg on March 18, all eyes remain on Olise’s remarkable ascent toward global superstardom.
