The statistic could almost have gone unnoticed, given how overwhelming Bayern Munich’s victory over Dynamo Zagreb was (9-2) on Tuesday, September 17. However, OptaJean’s attentive eye will not have missed Michael Olise’s sensational debut in the Champions League, who is the first Frenchman to score a double in his first C1 match since a certain Thierry Henry in 1997.
Inspired by Thierry Henry
The former coach of the French U21 team may have inspired Michael Olise this summer. During the group stages of the 1997-1998 Champions League, the young Thierry Henry, just 20 years old, scored the first and third goals in a 4-0 win for AS Monaco against Bayer Leverkusen. 27 years later, Michael Olise will have scored the third and fifth goals for the Bavarians, at the age of 22.
