Robben spots Olise ‘parallels’ after Bayern star’s ‘excellent’ Madrid display

Arjen Robben has highlighted striking similarities between himself and Bayern Munich winger Michael Olise following the Frenchman’s standout performance against Real Madrid. Speaking after the match, the former Netherlands international praised Olise’s display as “excellent” and noted clear “parallels” in their styles.

Robben, who spent a decade at Bayern and became synonymous with cutting in from the right wing to unleash trademark left-footed strikes, sees echoes of that approach in Olise’s game. The 22-year-old’s showing against the Spanish giants evidently evoked memories of Robben’s own peak years in Munich, though the exact details of Olise’s contributions were not specified.

The endorsement from a club legend adds weight to Olise’s growing reputation since his summer move from Crystal Palace. Robben’s comparison suggests the young attacker is already aligning with the demanding standards set at the Allianz Arena.

Bayern supporters will hope the parallels extend beyond a single encounter, as the club pursues major honours on multiple fronts this season.
