Coupe du monde 2026 : Michael Olise entre dans la légende et dépasse un record de Pelé
Despite France's spectacular 6-4 defeat to England in the 2026 World Cup third-place match, Michael Olise made history at the tournament. The French attacking midfielder delivered another top-level performance, providing two assists for Kylian Mbappé.
With these two new assists, the 24-year-old has now reached a total of seven assists in the tournament, a number not seen since official statistics began being recorded in 1966. No player had previously achieved such a feat in a single edition of the World Cup.
Michael Olise thus erases from the records a historical reference held by the Brazilian legend Pelé, who made six assists during the 1970 World Cup. It should be remembered, however, that Pelé achieved this feat while playing two fewer matches.
Throughout the competition, the French international established himself as the main playmaker for Les Bleus. He provided an assist against Senegal, two against Iraq, two against Sweden, before setting up Kylian Mbappé twice against England.
In his first-ever World Cup appearance, Michael Olise delivered an exceptional performance, cementing his place among the greatest playmakers in the competition's history. Despite France's absence from the tournament with a gold medal, the Bayern Munich player left with a historic record, confirming his status as one of the world's best playmakers.
