Real Madrid envious? A €150 million star ignites Mbappé's record night! With an assist and two through balls for one-on-one chances, he was named official MVP.

In the opening]}In a Group I World Cup opener held on June 17 Beijing time, France triumphed 3-1 over Senegal for a strong start. Despite Mbappé netting a brace as captain, the official MVP honor was awarded to Olise. The Bayern winger was the one who "ignited" Mbappé's historic night.

In contrast to Mbappé's fluctuating performance between the two halves, Olise delivered an outstanding display throughout his World Cup debut. In the 57th minute, Olise threaded a through ball, but Mbappé's one-on-one shot was blocked by Mendy's leg.

Just nine minutes later, however, Olise set up Mbappé again with a precise through pass into the box. Mbappé arrived on time, turned, and swept the ball into the net to break the deadlock for France. This marked the first time the duo connected at the international level, but it certainly won't be the last.

Beyond providing an assist and creating two one-on-one chances for Mbappé, Olise nearly scored his first World Cup goal on his debut. In the 53rd minute, a Senegal midfielder's turnover was intercepted, and Olise burst into the box for a powerful shot, only for Mendy to save it. This was also France's first shot on target in the match, effectively serving as Olise's call to awaken the team from their initial sluggishness.

According to post-match statistics, Olise had two shots on target, completed two of three dribbles, made four key passes, and posted a passing accuracy of 89.5%. He earned a rating of 7.9, trailing only Mbappé.

After the match, FIFA's official body awarded him the Man of the Match title, a well-deserved recognition for Olise's impressive World Cup debut.

Previously, reports suggested that Real Madrid is interested in signing Olise for €150 million, but Bayern has explicitly stated they will not sell him. However, after watching this match, Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez might realize that Olise is the "French connection" member who can truly elevate Mbappé's game.
