How Michael Olise’s Absence Affects Bayern Munich Against Arsenal

Mm. Marco, what does Bayern Munich look like without Michael Olise?

And, and even in recent years, we've never seen a Bayern Munich side as the strongest side take on Arsenal, 'cause last year Luis Diaz was out as well.

Yeah, absolutely. I think, um, according to a lot of the reports in the lineup, it's either Karl or Sabati that would come in to replace him.

And then how does that affect also Harry Kane and his positioning with the linkup with Michael Olise? Michael Olise is one of the players I enjoy most, uh, to watch in world football. He's magic, he's fantasy, he's creation. He's ...

He could get the ball and in one moment ...

It's fantastic that Arsenal defended well for 90 minutes, but in one moment he could flip the game on his head. And I think it, you- Kompany's reaction showed how disappointed he was in how Olise gets sent off because he knew that this could have been that measuring stick to see where they are.

So it definitely affects the match. Karl started out with a lot of excitement- Mm ... especially last year. Then in the World Cup it didn't really happen.

So it's a huge opportunity for a kid that we know has a lot of talent to maybe flip that narrative around.

But I also think he doesn't have the same skill set.

While he's highly talented and is a young player, one thing Olise can do is not only come short and, and do, beat you with the ball, he also runs in behind.

He can give you that pace aspect as well and, and his dribbling ability.

So it's a massive, massive loss for me.
