Michael Olise Says World Cup Assist Record Cannot Ease France’s Disappointment

1 / 2

Michael Olise says France’s failure to win the 2026 World Cup overshadowed his historic individual achievement. The Bayern Munich winger provided seven assists during the tournament, setting a new record for the most assists by one player at a single World Cup. France, one of the pre-tournament favourites, finished fourth after defeats to Spain and England in the latter rounds. Olise said representing France at the World Cup was a dream, but admitted he would have preferred to leave with the trophy rather than a personal record. He is expected to take a short break before returning to Bayern Munich for pre-season.
