Michael Olise's unusual goal celebration confuses Bayern Munich teammates

goal.com (French) —

Michael Olise scored twice in Bayern Munich's 6-1 German Cup win over Magdeburg, then celebrated his second goal with an unusual gesture toward the bench, where Harry Kane responded with a smile. The French winger converted a 50th-minute penalty with a panenka, then ran to the corner flag, crossed himself, and pointed at Kane. The exchange's meaning remains unclear, though both players attended Monday's Ballon d'Or ceremony in London, where Kane won the award. Kane became the first Bundesliga player since 1981 to win the honor, finishing ahead of Kylian Mbappé and Lamine Yamal. Olise placed ninth. Bayern next faces Borussia Dortmund in Saturday's Bundesliga Klassiker.
