Fans all spotted what was on Michael Olise's phone screen before he grabbed two goals and two assists for Bayern Munich against Werder Bremen on Saturday.
Olise was one of the standout young stars in the Premier League during the 23/24 season as he produced a string of impressive displays for Crystal Palace.
As a result, the Frenchman was linked with a host of different Premier League clubs in the summer transfer window including the likes of Manchester United, Chelsea, Manchester City, and Arsenal.
However, the 22-year-old made the bold decision to swap the Premier League for the Bundesliga as he signed for Bayern in a deal worth a reported fee of £50.8 million.

On Saturday afternoon, Olise proved he was worth every penny as he put on a brilliant display as he scored and assisted twice during Bayern’s 5-0 win over Bremen.
However, it wasn't just his performance on the pitch that caught the eye as fans all spotted what the former Crystal Palace man was watching as he arrived for the game.
Olise was seen watching the West Ham vs Chelsea game on his phone as he turned up at the Wohninvest Weserstadion as Enzo Maresca's side ran away 3-0 winners at the London Stadium in the early kick-off.
The 22-year-old spent seven years at Stamford Bridge between 2009 and 2016 before moving to Manchester City, followed by a move to Reading where he made his first team debut.
Olise almost made a sensational return to Chelsea in 2023 after the club triggered his £35 million release clause, but he instead chose to sign an improved contract with Palace that significantly increased that clause which Bayern eventually triggered.
Speaking to Bayern's official website after completing the move, Olise said: "I'm very happy to now be playing for such a big club.
"It's a great challenge, and that's exactly what I was looking for.
"I want to prove myself at this level and play my part in ensuring that we win as many titles as possible with our team in the coming years."
