Michael Olise produced a masterclass in playmaking as Bayern Munich resumed their Bundesliga campaign with a devastating 8-1 demolition of Wolfsburg. The victory moves the Bavarians 11 points clear at the summit, marking the best record across Europe’s top-five leagues with only four points dropped in 16 matches.
Olise was the architect of the destruction, scoring twice and setting a new Bundesliga record with 25 assists in his first 50 league appearances. His creative spark fueled a ruthless second-half rampage where Harry Kane, Luis Diaz, Leon Goretzka, and Raphael Guerreiro all ruthlessly exploited a fragile Wolfsburg defense.
The Wolves briefly harbored hopes of an upset when academy graduate Dzenan Pejcinovic equalized following a Killian Fischer own goal. However, those dreams were short-lived as Bayern responded with a relentless scoring spree, including three goals in a staggering eight-minute window midway through the second half.
Harry Kane’s strike took his seasonal tally to 20, keeping the England captain firmly on course to challenge Robert Lewandowski’s historic single-season record of 41 goals. Meanwhile, Goretzka’s late effort ensured Bayern reached 63 league goals this term—the highest total ever recorded at this stage of a Bundesliga season.
This victory extends a dominant head-to-head record that has seen Bayern go unbeaten against Wolfsburg since 2015. On a day where Michael Olise sparkled, Vincent Kompany’s side sent a terrifying message to the rest of the league regarding their pursuit of the Meisterschale.
