Playmaker extraordinaire: France and Bayern Munich sar Michael Olise sets new assist standard for World Cup
Bayern Munich and France star Michael Olise has set a new standard for playmaking at this World Cup as the 24-year-old registered seven assists during the tournament.
Olise set up Kylian Mbappé for two goals during France’s insane 6-4 loss to England in the World Cup third-place game. After falling behind 4-0, France battled back to make it 4-3 in the second half before the 2018 champs ran out of gas and allowed the Three Lions to pull away late.
