Michael Olise sent off in Bayern’s 3-3 draw against Viking Stavanger

Champions League FC Bayern München Viking Stavanger Michael Olise Zlatko Tripic

In a Champions League match that ended in a 3-3 draw, Viking Stavanger captain Zlatko Tripic drew significant controversy for his provocative playing style against FC Bayern München. The tension peaked when Bayern player Michael Olise received a red card after being provoked by Tripic; Olise reacted by throwing the ball at Tripic’s face, resulting in two yellow cards and an ejection in the 74th minute.

Bayern Munich officials and coaching staff expressed frustration with the situation. Sports director Max Eberl described Tripic’s conduct as playing ‘like a jerk,’ noting that the team allowed themselves to be provoked. Manager Vincent Kompany stated that while provocation is part of the game, Olise should not have ‘fallen into the trap.’

Opinions on the incident remain divided. While some experts and players, such as Harry Kane, viewed Tripic as a ‘clever player’ whose tactics are part of football, others were more critical. Bodø/Glimt goalkeeper Nikita Haikin described the perceived cynicism as ‘unacceptable,’ arguing that athletes should maintain respect for one another. Viking’s manager, Bjarte Lunde Aarsheim, defended the approach as a necessary ‘winning mentality’ required at this level of competition.
