When Michael Olise moved from Crystal Palace to Bayern Munich, some suggested it was too great a step up. Clearly, they had not been watching him closely. After his stunning strike against Celtic in the Champions League, it is undisputed he fully belongs at the highest levels of the game.

Michael Olise has been a beast with Bayern Munich, and his strong play will continue Tuesday against Celtic. Bayern Munich won the away game in Glasgow, but they won't slow their tempo as Celtic come visiting for the return leg of the Champions League Round of 16 playoffs.
