Peter Drury said what Bayern Munich is scared to admit about Kylian Mbappe and Michael Olise

Kylian Mbappe and Michael Olise delivered another attacking monster class together as the French national team predictably shredded through an overmatched Sweden, much to the chargin of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, to kick off the World Cup knockout stage with a 3-0 win.

Although Mbappe stole the show by grabbing a brace, Olise as just as impressive, releasing Mbappe and Bradley Barcola with beautiful passes, showing great touch and vision as a playmaker coming inside while also ruling the right flank, as he always does. And Olise nearly stole the show himself with a bicycle kick that clanged the post, leaving the goal begging for reigning Ballon d'Or forward Ousmane Dembele.

The Mbappe and Olise axis has been the best tandem in the World Cup this year, and it has Real Madrid fans salivating over the prospect of Florentino Perez getting his hands on arguably the best player of the 2025/26 season.

Michael Olise and Kylian Mbappe are capturing the world stage

Olise is the No. 1 Galactico on Perez's radar, and Real Madrid are pondering a record match 222 milion euro bid to Bayern Munich for their most prized possession. And since Olise is not committing to Bayern, Die Roten have to sweat a little bit about the growing chemistry between Mbappe and Olise swaying the Frenchman into joining Real Madrid.

Well, legendary commentator Peter Drury fanned the flames by gushing over the duo, via Madrid Xtra, saying of Micahel Olise and Kylian Mbappe, "What a privilege to watch Kylian Mbappe and Olise play football together."

And that is precisely what scares Bayern Munich so much about the 2026 World Cup and the pursuit of Olise by Real Madrid. As Mbappe and Olise continue to shine together and develop chemistry with the Bayern man looking for the Real Madrid striker early and often, the whole world is captured by their talent.

And you had better believe Florentino Perez is watching how they play together closely and only wanting this transfer more. The greatest recruitment pitch Real Madrid can offer to Olise is this partnership with Mbappe, because Olise will get to work with even more superstars like him at the Santiago Bernabeu, specifically fellow World Cup stars Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham.

Bayern Munich will do anything to hold onto their most prized player, but if Olise wants to join forces with Mbappe and is just as enraptured by playing with Mbappe as legends like Peter Drury are watching them, then not even the Bundesliga's biggest giants may stand a chance.
