Bukayo Saka has scored more [6] in a UCL campaign than Micheal Olise has managed so far. Micheal Olise has more goal contributions [10] than Bukayo Saka has managed in his UCL career.

One of my pet hates is comparing players when one is in peak form and the other has fallen off a cliff (age, injury) after years of sustained elite performance and hating on the latter. That said, I think Olise has probably hit a level of performance which I do think has surpassed even peak Saka - last night he was quite frankly insane, the dribbling, the passing, that shot and just the way he stamped his authority every time he touched the ball. One has to remember though playing football in that Bayern system under Kompany enhances your attacking game like crazy compared to the methodical isolated approach of Arteta.

I don’t think peak Saka is anywhere near this conversation. Not even worth having it. Olise is outright playing at best player in the world level. Saka was one of the best domestically over two years ago.

14 - With 14 goals and assists, only Kylian Mbappe [16] has more goal contributions than Kvicha Kvaratskhelia [14] in the Uefa Champions League this season Kvaradona

Of players to have scored 5+ UCL goals in the 25/26 season, no one has a better goal per shot on target ratio than Gabriel Martinelli [0.75]
