Bayern Munich battered Union Berlin 7-0 thanks to a Michael Olise hat-trick, a Harry Kane brace, and one each from Jamal Musiala and Ismael Saibari.

The visitors from Berlin
happened to wish that FC Barcelona forward Lamine Yamal kept quiet because his comments appeared to have motivated Kane and Olise. If you missed what Yamal said, he implied that goals don’t matter in the Ballon d’Or race in an attempt to boost his chances of winning it.
With Kane and Olise balling out, the onus is on Yamal to perform against Sevilla to back the talk up. Maybe he hasn’t noticed, but he dug himself a hole: If he scores, it means he doesn’t believe in his own sayings; if he doesn’t score, he may get criticized for not churning out contributions.
