Provoker Tripic goads Bayern star Olise to red – Bayern boys shiver

Proud provocateur Zlatko Tripic said he was overjoyed after he had upset half of the Bayern squad in the Champions League duel between Viking Stavanger and FC Bayern. The 33‑year‑old captain provoked the Munich native Michael Olise to a yellow‑red card, which earned him a wide grin.

Provocation in the 3‑3 drama

In the match that ended 3‑3, Tripic set up the first goal to make it 1‑0 and missed no chance to stir up trouble. His actions led to Olise throwing the ball into his face and subsequently being sent off.

Reactions from Munich and beyond

Bayern sporting director Max Eberl, quoted by the EPA, apologised for Olise's behaviour and called him a “dirty sack”, while confirming Tripic's aim of getting a player sent off. Vincent Kompany, Max Eberl and Harry Kane also commented on the incident.

Harry Kane, who scored two goals for Bayern in the same match, was unimpressed by Tripic's antics and said that such provocations are part of football. Norwegian TV expert Carl‑Erik Torp agreed with him and criticised Olise's reaction as unsporting.

Match progression and consequences

After Bayern turned a 0‑2 deficit into a 3‑2 lead thanks to goals from Kane and Luis Díaz, Olise received the yellow‑red card. Bayern's late equaliser came after Olise's dismissal.

Tripic's role as the “Bad Boy” of the match was highlighted by the media, and his statement “I am so incredibly happy, I think I have managed to upset half of the Bayern squad” underscores his self‑perception as a provocateur.
