Crystal Palace fans watched on with pride as Michael Olise tormented Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday evening.
The France international scored a sumptuous goal to seal a 4-3 win for Bayern Munich inside the Allianz Arena, securing a 6-4 victory on aggregate and a place in the last four of the UEFA Champions League, where PSG await.
Michael Olise now has a remarkable haul of 18 goals and 29 assists in 43 appearances this season, and two former Crystal Palace teammates in Daniel Munoz and Ebere Eze got in touch as he kept his Ballon d’Or hopes alive.

The Colombia international had one word to use in response to his former wing partner tearing Real Madrid apart, posting “magico” on Instagram in response to Olise’s upload – also adding a fire emoji and an applauding emoji.
Eze also reacted, posting a handshake emoji to show respect for what his former partner in crime at Crystal Palace did against the 15-time European champions on Wednesday.
It is becoming quite hard to believe that Crystal Palace had Eze and Olise in the squad at the same time, not to mention the fact Marc Guehi was also in the side – along with top players who remain at Selhurst Park in Adam Wharton, Maxence Lacroix, Ismaila Sarr, Dean Henderson and Munoz himself.
It will be hard to maintain this golden generation of players, but the task will become a lot easier if Steve Parish manages to hire Andoni Iraola as a replacement for Oliver Glasner.

The Spaniard is currently the top target, with Spanish news outlet Marca stating that Crystal Palace have already made the 43-year-old an offer after it was announced he will leave Bournemouth at the end of the season.
Be sure to keep an eye on that situation, as Iraola would be an immense appointment.
