FC Bayern won the Super Cup against BVB on Saturday, and Michael Olise once again played a decisive role. And this was just a few days after he returned to training. It became clear, however, that the “old Olise” is back.
And not just in terms of the game itself. Olise was technically brilliant, setting up Nathaniel Brown’s 1-0 goal after beautifully controlling the ball and letting it roll through.
The Frenchman then coolly scored the 2-0 goal himself after some tight dribbling. Yes, not everything clicked yet and he missed some chances, but for just a handful of training sessions, it was a good game.

Olise also drew attention to himself after the game, during the trophy presentation. The 24-year-old was first named Player of the Match and then remained completely impassive during the obligatory victory photo. Even during the trophy celebration that followed, his euphoria—at least outwardly—remained in check. He leaned back relaxed and looked out at the crowd.

But anyone who follows Olise closely at FC Bayern knows that these are exactly the kind of reactions we’ve come to expect from him. He’s simply not a party animal—not someone who lets loose in moments like these. Some people find that arrogant, but his teammates in particular have repeatedly emphasized that this isn’t true at all and that his reactions aren’t an act.
Nevertheless, there were comments to that effect on social media under the photo ofhim receiving the Player of the Match award.“ He’s sothrilled—just look athis smile,” one X user commented ironically.
Another user wrote: “love the enthusiasm,” which was also meant as an ironic comment. Of course, more important than a smile in a photo like that is his performance on the field—and once again, Olise delivered.
