Michael Olise was shown a red card during Bayern Munich's 3-3 draw against Viking Stavanger in the Champions League, a match that ended poorly for the German club. According to L'Équipe, the French winger was dismissed for a gesture of frustration, while Foot Mercato reports he was sent off for a "coup de sang" (fit of anger).

Kompany's reaction

Bayern Munich coach Kompany did not hide his displeasure with Olise's behavior. As reported by FAZ, Kompany criticized the player, calling the red card "überblöd" (extremely stupid). The incident occurred after Olise had already been booked for pulling an opponent's shirt, as noted by Maxifoot.

Suspension and upcoming match

Due to the red card, Olise will be suspended for Bayern's next Champions League match against Arsenal, according to Foot Mercato. The draw against Viking Stavanger leaves Bayern with a mixed result, and the team will have to cope without the 24-year-old midfielder in the upcoming fixture.

Contract situation and interest from other clubs

Off the pitch, Bayern Munich is reportedly determined to keep Olise, with several media outlets highlighting the club's efforts to extend his contract. According to Le Figaro, Bayern is ready to do everything to retain the player. Terra reports that the club is considering offering a record salary to renew with Olise, while Sports.fr mentions that Bayern is willing to make an exception to its principles to convince him to stay.

Olise has also set conditions for a renewal, according to Placar, which cites a channel saying the French attacker has defined salary demands and a release clause for a contract extension until 2032. The report also notes that Real Madrid is interested in the player, and But Football Club adds that Paris Saint-Germain is monitoring the situation.

Bayern's next Champions League match against Arsenal will be a key test, with Olise unavailable due to suspension.
