Fans targeted the 24-year-old French winger following a completely subdued, ineffective performance in the crucial European tie, drawing direct comparisons with Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal.

What fans said 

Supporters on social media were quick to point out that PSG manager Luis Enrique successfully nullified the attacker's threat by deliberately doubling up on him, suffocating his space on the right flank.

Fans weaponised Olise's inability to bypass the double-team of Nuno Mendes and Fabian Ruiz, arguing that his failure to cope is definitive proof that he is simply not on the same elite level as Barcelona’s teenage phenomenon, Lamine Yamal.

The online discourse centred around the argument that Yamal routinely faces the exact same aggressive, targeted double-teaming from opposition coaches but consistently finds ways to break defensive structures. 

This public verdict arrives despite Olise posting absolutely incredible individual numbers during the current campaign; the forward has registered an astonishing 14 goals and 19 assists in 30 Bundesliga appearances this season.
