FC Mainz 05 succumbed to the sheer quality of the Bavarians. The final winning goal from Michael Olise was a repeat of the curling goal he scored against Real Madrid. Manager Vincent Kompany is in disbelief of the standards and expectations that Olise has set for himself. “Michael has set the bar high for himself that I would’ve been disappointed if that didn’t go in — and that’s absurd. It shouldn’t be normal, but he made us get used to it,” said Kompany (as captured by @iMiaSanMia) after Bayern made a stunning comeback in their 4-3 victory over Mainz. In the return leg against Real Madrid, Olise scored a worldie similar to the one against Mainz. The title winning match against VfB Stuttgart almost had another of Olise’s curling goals had it not been for a last second deflection off the head of Maximilian Mittelstädt. The left-footed goal of Olise into the opposition’s far corner is slowly turning into his signature goal. A goal that reminds the Bayern faithful of a certain former right winger who was inevitable on his curling shots into the top corner. Any guesses who that might be? *If you are looking for more Bayern Munich and German national team coverage, check out the latest episodes of Bavarian Podcast Works, which you can get on , , , or any leading podcast distributor…*
