The forward of the Munich "Bayern" team, Michael Olise, surprised fans with an unexpected action.

In the UEFA Champions League match (1:0) against PSG, the 22-year-old Frenchman broke established rules.

In the 72nd minute of the match, after coming on as a substitute, the player took to the field without his shin guards.

Television cameras captured how the footballer initially discussed the matter with the reserve referee, and later quietly removed the guards. It is reported that UEFA has already taken an interest in this action and is preparing to initiate an investigation.

📌Olise received a warning from the fourth official that he was not wearing shin guards. The Frenchman puts on the guards, but when the referee isn't looking, he takes them off again. Dangerous play.
