Bayern’s 8–1 Rout Elevates Olise–Díaz Wing Duo, Reignites Robben–Ribéry Comparisons

Vincent Kompany cautions that any Robben–Ribéry parallels will only hold once this form yields major titles.

Overview

  • Bayern thrashed Wolfsburg 8–1, with Michael Olise (two goals, two assists) and Luis Díaz (one goal, two assists) directly involved in six of the eight goals.
  • Sport director Max Eberl compared Olise to Arjen Robben and Díaz to Franck Ribéry, and Harry Kane praised the duo’s chemistry while noting true stature comes from sustained years at this level.
  • Kompany urged restraint on the hype, saying the pair must forge their own path and that meaningful comparisons can wait until silverware is secured.
  • Wolfsburg protested the quick restart before Bayern’s 5–1, and captain Maximilian Arnold called the situation a “huge impertinence” after referee Florian Badstübner’s brief stoppage.
  • The result underlined Bayern’s dominance with an 11-point lead after 16 matches and 63 goals scored, intensifying discussion about a runaway title race and record-chasing pace.
