Real Madrid’s Aurelien Tchouameni has admitted he occasionally tunes in to Bayern Munich matches. 

FCB Inside picked up on the French midfielder’s comments after he praised his compatriot, Michael Olise.

“His performance [for France against Croatia] didn’t surprise me, as I watch Bayern games.

“He shows his full talent in training. He just needed some time to show his skills, and today he played a great game,” Tchouameni explained.

The comments came after Michael Olise inspired Les Bleus to a second-leg come back where they defeated Croatia 5-4 on penalties.
