Harry Kane and Michael Olise have one of the most amazing partnerships in world football right now. The Bayern Munich duo have registered over a hundred goal contributions combined, and show no signs of slowing down. Against Real Madrid it took two goals and an assist by Kane, as well as a goal and assist from Olise over 180 minutes to win the tie.
Speaking to the media after the game, Harry Kane expressed an opinion that only FC Barcelona fans would disagree with. “I’d say he [Olise] is currently the best winger in the world,” said Kane (DAZN via @iMiaSanMia). “He creates a lot of chances and isn’t afraid to dribble. I think he’s one of our main players, along with Luis Díaz.”
Kane is probably right about that. Stats-wise, the two players are pretty even, but Olise has now fired his team into a Champions League semi-final. That should give him the edge.

Now, what about the Ballon d’Or? If Olise wins a Champions League but Yamal wins the World Cup, then in a year like this Yamal would probably win the thing. But it’s all up in the air right now. Bayern Munich fans will swear up and down that Olise is the better player, and Harry Kane agrees with us. That’s what matters.
