Michael Oliseh's often cold and distant attitude did not save him from receiving the most naive red card of this edition of the Champions League this time. At the Viking pitch, Bayern Munich struggled due to the synthetic carpet, one of the weapons that Norwegian teams use to have an advantage in European matches. The Bavarians were forced to overturn the result and in the end were satisfied with a 3-3 draw, playing with one man less due to the Frenchman's exclusion, which remains inexplicable.
Olise received two yellow cards in the space of a minute, and the second one caused Kompany to lose his temper. While being shown a yellow card, right under the referee's watch, he threw the ball in the face of the opponent who had just been blocking him in the middle of the field. An absurd and naive act, most likely done without thinking, that earned him a harsh reprimand from the coach, but also from Harry Kane, who did not approve of his behavior.
Olise's absurd exclusion
The Frenchman fell into the trap of Tobic, who, after causing him the first yellow card, managed to get him sent off with a provocation. In front of the referee, Olise threw the ball in his face, a naive move that earned him a red card. He didn't even see his opponent when he hit him, driven by nervousness, a reaction that is certainly not expected from a footballer of his level.
Bayern had just overturned the result against Viking on a difficult evening, where the field factor played a very important role for the Norwegians. The Bavarians were left with a man less and conceded the equalizer 3-3 in the 90th minute. After the match, Olise was publicly reprimanded by Kane and also by Kompany, who did not mince his words: "This red card is extremely stupid. We have spoken clearly about it. Michael needs to control himself better. He knows that."

The Frenchman will miss the upcoming Champions League match against Arsenal, creating a problem for his team, who will have to face last season's finalists without one of their best weapons at their disposal.
