I’ll Buy a Ticket Just to Watch Olise — Rio Ferdinand Snubs Messi for 2026 World Cup
Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has picked Bayern Munich’s Michael Olise as the most exciting player at the upcoming 2026 World Cup. He says Olise’s flair makes him worth buying a ticket for, even over established stars. Speaking on his channel ahead of France’s third-place playoff, Ferdinand explained that Olise’s creativity keeps him glued to the screen. He admitted he would stay late in traffic just to see the winger make something special. Olise has set up five assists in seven tournament games and has drawn interest from Real Madrid and Liverpool. However, Bayern Munich’s €200 million price tag could prove a big hurdle for suitors this summer.
