Union spots Barça's campaign despite a heavy defeat

Michael Olise capped the evening with a hat‑trick, which he completed a quarter of an hour before full‑time, as Union Berlin were confronted with a 7‑0 defeat to Bayern Munich on Friday evening. The media department of Die Eisernen immediately made a joke about Lamine Yamal of Barça.

After Olise’s third goal, the club referred to the striking statements of the 19‑year‑old Yamal, who is running a personal campaign for the Ballon d’Or this year. For the first time in the award’s history, players appear to be organising their own promotion.

Bayern’s fireworks

Harry Kane delivered two goals, while Olise completed his hat‑trick. Also, Ismael Saibari, recently from PSV, scored his first goal for the Der Rekordmeister as a substitute.

Union’s administrator, with a wink, did not omit the self‑deprecation and wrote: ‘Could this nineteen‑year‑old lad from Barcelona just shut his mouth? Kane and Olise are magnificent today and prove to be Ballon d’Or material.’

The heavy defeat underlines Bayern’s ongoing dominance in the Bundesliga, while Union Berlin have to cope with one of the biggest losses in their recent history.

Despite the disappointment, the media department of Die Eisernen remains humorous, a sign that the club has not lost its own mockery, even after a 7‑0 thrashing.
