Dani Olmo did not want his stroke of genius to the interim 2-0 in the Supercup final to be understood as a coincidence. "Of course it was intentional. I saw a gap," said the 25-year-old professional footballer from RB Leipzig about the scene that stunned 75,000 people in the Allianz Arena on Saturday night. With an elegant move, Olmo spun between Matthijs de Ligt and Konrad Laimer before spiking the ball through the legs of goalkeeper Sven Ulreich. The magic goal was the highlight of Olmo's hat-trick evening in the 3-0 win over FC Bayern.
"I have scored many beautiful goals, but this gets a special place in my memory," said the midfielder. Coach Marco Rose spoke of an "incredible action."
Three goals, three times Olmo. Understandably, the Spanish international did not want to give up the match ball after the game and dragged along to the interviews. "It gets a special place," said the Leipzig player. Earlier, the acclaimed matchwinner had led his team to the front of the fan curve with the Supercup trophy in his arms, silencing the Kane hype from Munich fans. "This was a special night for me. This is just the beginning," promised Olmo, who couldn't think of a better time to score the first hat trick of his career. "Against the champions of the Bundesliga, in the Supercup final, in the Allianz Arena. Already beautiful," raved Olmo.
