Arjen Robben has urged supporters and pundits to exercise caution when drawing parallels between himself and Bayern Munich’s rising star Michael Olise. While the legendary winger admitted to being deeply impressed by the Frenchman’s creative influence, he insisted that every player deserves to be judged on their own unique individual merits.Following a series of scintillating performances in the Bundesliga and Champions League, Olise has increasingly been likened to Robben due to his tendency to cut inside from the right flank. The 24-year-old has enjoyed a remarkable second season in Bavaria, racking up 17 goals and 29 assists across all competitions. Having arrived from Crystal Palace in 2024, the winger has quickly become a key part of the attack, helping the club maintain a dominant 12-point lead at the top of the Bundesliga table and reach the latter stages of both the DFB-Pokal and Champions League.Robben, who remains one of the most celebrated figures in Bayern's history, sat down with the club's official media to discuss the current squad's progression. Speaking to fcbayern.com regarding Olise’s recent form and the inevitable comparisons to his own playing style, Robben said: "I was very impressed with him. That's my position, of course. He was very good – he played actively and creatively and had some excellent touches on the ball. There are certainly some parallels. But you always have to be careful with comparisons. I don't really like doing that because every player has their own style of play."Despite his reluctance to label Olise as his direct heir, Robben acknowledged that the France international is performing at an elite level that benefits the entire team. Since joining the club on a five-year deal, Olise has already secured a Bundesliga title and the German Super Cup, amassing nearly 90 goal contributions in just 97 appearances.Further addressing the similarities in their technical approach and Olise’s development, Robben added: "Of course, there are certain things we have in common. But ultimately, he's a different player than me. He's just doing a fantastic job. I'm very happy about that, and I can really enjoy it."Add GOAL.com as a preferred source on Google to see more of our reportingBayern are entering the final stretch of the season as strong favourites to retain their Bundesliga title with only five matches left to play.
