Michael Olise is enjoying a fantastic spell with the French national team. The Bayern Munich star was one of the key protagonists in France’s 4-1 victory over Belgium in the Nations League, scoring two goals and providing an assist.
With this performance, Olise has taken his total number of goal contributions for France in 2026 to 17, with 7 goals and 10 assists.
In the 21st century, only Thierry Henry has managed a better tally in a single calendar year with the French national team.
In 2003, Henry recorded 19 goal contributions, leaving Olise just two behind him.
Olise’s statistics for Bayern Munich are equally impressive. In 11 appearances this season, the 24-year-old has scored 12 goals and provided 5 assists, further confirming his emergence as one of the most important players for both France and the Bavarian club.
France will play their final two group-stage matches in the Nations League in November, facing Italy on November 12 and Turkey on November 15.
