The talented forward dribbled past no fewer than six players to remind everyone of Super Eagles legend Jay Jay Okocha.

In an impressive splay reminiscent of Super Eagles legend Austine Jay Jay Okocha, Michael Olise reminded everyone of his exceptional talent with a stunning solo goal during Bayern Munich's 5-1 victory over Shakhtar Donetsk in the UEFA Champions League. 

The 22-year-old forward, who recently opted to represent France instead of Nigeria, was instrumental in the match, scoring twice and earning the Player of the Match award.

Bayern Munich faced an early setback when Shakhtar took the lead just five minutes into the game through Kevin Macedo. 

However, the Bavarians quickly responded, with Konrad Laimer levelling the score shortly after. By halftime, Bayern had turned the tide, with Thomas Muller putting them ahead before Olise made his mark.

The highlight of Olise's performance came in added time when he picked up the ball deep in Shakhtar's half. 

Displaying remarkable skill and agility, he dribbled past six players before calmly slotting the ball into the net - making the move and goal look easier than it is.

His second goal not only capped off an impressive night but also drew comparisons to the iconic dribbling of Nigerian legend Okocha and his goal for Frankfurt years ago.

In total, Olise contributed significantly to Bayern's offensive efforts, completing 83% of his passes, creating multiple scoring opportunities throughout the match and picking up an assist. 

Olise netted a fantastic solo finish for Bayern.

His brace helped propel Bayern Munich to eighth place in the Champions League standings, while Shakhtar remains further down in 27th.

Olise's transition from Crystal Palace to Bayern Munich has seen rapid adaptation and significant contributions, as he now boasts 13 goal contributions across competitions this season.

Following his standout performance, Olise continues to solidify his reputation as one of Europe's promising talents.
