Michael Olise Ran the Bundesliga in 2025/26 – 15 Goals, 19 Assists, 28 Big Chances Created

5th June 2026

Michael Olise did not just have a good debut season at Bayern Munich. He had a historically dominant one. Across 32 Bundesliga appearances, the Frenchman racked up 15 goals and 19 assists – a combined 34 goal involvements that put him in a class of his own among the league’s creators.

He topped the Bundesliga for assists. He topped it for big chances created. He was 3rd for key passes, 2nd for shots on target, and 3rd for total shots. In every meaningful creative and attacking metric, Olise was either leading the division or right behind the leader.

These are his final rankings across all Bundesliga players this season:

That is a staggering range. Most players dominate one column – Olise was near the top of all of them. And he did it in 32 appearances, not 34. He missed two matchdays and still blew past the competition.

The Assist King

Olise’s 19 assists led the Bundesliga by a comfortable margin. Here’s how the top five finished:

  1. Michael Olise (Bayern) – 19 assists in 32 apps
  2. Julian Ryerson (Dortmund) – 15 in 31 apps
  3. Luis Diaz (Bayern) – 14 in 32 apps
  4. Andrej Ilic (Union Berlin) – 10 in 32 apps
  5. Christian Eriksen (Wolfsburg) – 9 in 31 apps

Four assists clear at the top. And the man in 3rd was his own teammate, Luis Diaz. Between them, Olise and Diaz supplied 33 assists – a partnership that fed Harry Kane all season long.

Kane’s Supplier-in-Chief

Kane finished the Bundesliga season with 36 goals in 31 appearances – comfortably winning the Torjagerkanone for the second year running. Olise’s 28 big chances created (1st in the league by seven) were a massive part of that. Nobody in the Bundesliga created more clear-cut opportunities. The next best was Ryerson on 21, and after that David Raum on 20.

That’s not a close race. That’s daylight.

The Dribbling Threat

What made Olise so effective wasn’t just his final ball. He carried it past defenders at will. His 137 dribble attempts ranked 2nd in the Bundesliga, and his 62 successful dribbles put him 3rd. That combination of individual ball-carrying and end product is rare – most dribblers don’t create at this rate, and most creators don’t beat defenders as often.

Add in 102 shots (3rd) and 50 on target (2nd), and you have a player who was a genuine goal threat in his own right on top of everything he set up for others. His 15 goals made him the 6th-highest scorer in the division – from a wide position.

The Verdict

Olise’s move from Crystal Palace to Bayern was one of the transfers of the summer. The stats confirm it was one of the signings of the season. First in the league for assists, first for big chances created, 6th for goals, 2nd for shots on target, 2nd for dribble attempts – the 23-year-old dominated the Bundesliga in a way few wide players have managed in recent memory.

With the World Cup around the corner, France have a player in the form of his life. Defenders everywhere should be worried.
