Michael Olise’s week at FC Bayern has a funny side effect: even people with the biggest football histories can’t help but talk about him. The French international is not only turning heads on the pitch, but Misryoum newsroom reporting says the international buzz around him is growing quickly.
Luis Figo—2000 Ballon d’Or winner, and an icon of Real Madrid and FC Barcelona—has now added his voice ahead of the Champions League second leg between Bayern and Real Madrid. At an event organized by his sponsor, Figo didn’t sound careful or diplomatic. He said: „I love him as a player. If he continues like this, he will always be a candidate for the Ballon d’Or,“ Misryoum newsroom reported.
Misryoum newsroom reporting also points to what stood out in the first leg at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu. Olise was one of the most eye-catching players in Munich’s 2-1 win, and for a lot of fans it felt like he kept creating little problems—constant angles, constant motion, the kind of winger work that makes defenders second-guess themselves. Later, in Figo’s words, it added up to something bigger.
„He was fantastic. He has incredible qualities. He is unique as a winger at the moment,“ Figo said. The praise lands with extra weight because Figo’s assessment also matches the bigger story Misryoum editorial desk has been tracking: Olise isn’t just having a good run—he’s increasingly becoming one of the defining players in Europe. And that, annoyingly for other teams, keeps happening week after week.
Of course, the moment a player like that starts looking this sharp, transfer talk starts creeping in. Olise has been repeatedly linked with a move to Real Madrid, and Figo can see the logic. „He has the quality to play for any club in the world – whether Real Madrid or any other,“ Misryoum newsroom reported.
Even so, Misryoum analysis indicates Bayern’s position is pretty clear: Olise is not for sale and is described as a central building block for the future. Reports referenced by Misryoum editorial team stated that Real president Florentino Pérez is even prepared to dig deep into his pockets to lure the Bayern star to Spain—but at Säbener Straße, the stance stays firm. Then again, big nights like this… sometimes plans get messy.
Now the attention shifts again to the second leg, where Olise will be tested in a familiar setup. Despite Real Madrid being down 2:1, Figo believes they can catch up—„It’s difficult, but if there’s one team that can do it, it’s Real Madrid,“ he emphasized. He also says it will be crucial for the Whites to control Bayern’s attacking power, explicitly mentioning Olise as a key player alongside Harry Kane and Luis Díaz. And you can almost imagine the stadium noise when those players start syncing up—like that moment right before a corner when the air changes and everyone holds their breath, even if you don’t want to admit it.
