The 22-year-old, who was previously linked with the Nigerian national team, endured a difficult hour on the pitch as Barcelona, led by former Bayern manager Hansi Flick, dominated the proceedings.
Brazilian star Raphinha stole the show with a spectacular hat-trick performance for the hosts.
Statistics paint a concerning picture of Olise's contribution, with the young forward failing to create any chances or register any key passes during his time on the field.
His passing accuracy stood at a modest 71%, while he failed to record a single shot on target. Perhaps most telling was his inability to complete his only attempted dribble and his unsuccessful execution of two crossing attempts.
After the match, fans took to social media to express their disappointment with the performance of the summer signing from Crystal Palace, particularly his struggles against Barcelona's defence.
One supporter pointed out, "Michael Olise is a brilliant footballer but he holds onto the ball too much, thereby killing attacks. Sometimes as a winger, all you need is one touch and find the next pass."
Another fan highlighted his ineffectiveness against Barcelona's defensive line: "I am so done man olise and sane couldn't even cook vs the worst version of Balde."
The criticism grew more pointed as the evening wore on, with one fan simply stating "olise is the weak link in the bayern attack," while another commented on his approach to the game: "Olise dey try nonchalant gimmick with Balde, shit performance."
The performance raises questions about Olise's adaptation to Champions League football, as Bayern Munich look to bounce back from this disappointing result in their upcoming fixtures.
