Bayern's Michael Olise shines in France U-23 victory ahead of Olympics

Michael Olise in action for France

Michael Olise showcased his blistering form for the France U-23s on Thursday evening as they gear up for the upcoming Olympic Games in Paris.

With the Olympics fast approaching, Bayern Munich's recent signing, Olise, continued to impress, scoring twice in a friendly against the Dominican Republic.

Called up to the France squad, Olise is set to compete for the Gold Medal on home soil. In a dominant display, he scored two goals within five minutes, solidifying France's 7-0 victory.

Starting in the XI, Olise netted France's fourth goal with a simple tap-in in the 51st minute. Just five minutes later, he showcased his prowess with a stunning volley from outside the box, further extending France's lead.

France's emphatic win sets a positive tone for their Olympic campaign, which kicks off on July 24 against the United States. The group also includes New Zealand and Guinea, presenting a challenging but exciting path ahead.

Bayern Munich made headlines earlier this month by signing Olise from Crystal Palace. The Bavarians reportedly fended off interest from several Premier League giants to secure the 22-year-old, widely regarded as one of the world's most promising young forwards.

Jamal Musiala, who played alongside Olise during their youth days at Chelsea, expressed his excitement about reuniting at Bayern.

Speaking to AZ, Musiala praised Olise's exceptional talent: "We played together at Chelsea's youth teams, and it was a good time.

"We haven't talked much over the years, but what I can say is that he has a lot of quality. You could see that at Crystal Palace; he scored a lot of goals."

As Olise sets his sights on Olympic gold with France, Bayern fans will anticipate his impact in the Bundesliga. His early performances hint at a bright future, both in the international arena and at his new club in German
