Viking captain happy to have provoked Bayern Munich’s Michael Olise into red card

Viking captain Zlatko Tripić expressed satisfaction after intentionally provoking Bayern Munich winger Michael Olise into receiving a red card during a 3-3 Champions League draw. Olise lost his composure and threw the ball in Tripić's face after the Norwegian club's captain deliberately attempted to take the French attacker out of his comfort zone.

Tripić stated he felt he won his personal duel against Olise, noting he succeeded in distracting the winger from his game. Writer Chuck Smith argues that the dismissal represents a frustrating lesson for Bayern Munich, emphasizing that Vincent Kompany's side relies heavily on Olise's attacking quality and cannot afford costly moments of frustration.
