Bayern Munich suffered a setback in their Champions League campaign after French midfielder Michael Olise was sent off in the 73rd minute of their 3-3 draw with Viking FK on Tuesday evening.
Olise’s moment of temper led to his dismissal, as he picked up a yellow card for pulling Henrik Heggheim’s shirt and then got himself sent off moments later for throwing the ball towards Zlatko Tripic’s head.
The timing of the red card could hardly have been worse, as Bayern led 3-2 but conceded the equaliser in the 90th minute, dropping two precious points in the competition.
Olise’s Suspension to Cost Bayern dearly in Upcoming Match
Olise’s punishment won’t end with the scoreline, as the suspension rules him out of Bayern’s eagerly awaited meeting with Arsenal next Wednesday in the third round of the Champions League.
This is a significant blow to Bayern, as Olise is a key player for the team and his absence will be felt in the upcoming match.
Why this Story Matters for an International Audience
