France playmaker Michael Olise produced a masterclass by assisting all three goals in Les Bleus' 3-0 FIFA World Cup 2026 Round of 32 victory over Sweden. The Bayern Munich midfielder now has five assists in the tournament, equalling Diego Maradona and four others for the second-most assists in a single World Cup edition. Only Brazilian legend Pelé, with six assists in 1970, remains ahead of him. Olise's creativity has been central to France's unbeaten campaign, while captain Kylian Mbappe has led the scoring. France will now face Paraguay in the Round of 16 as Olise chases more World Cup history.
