"To recall, the Karl had spoken to members of a fanclub in what he believed was a private meeting. While answering a specific question, Karl mentioned that aside from Bayern, Real Madrid was a club he really looked up to and wished to play at some point in his career. Unfortunately for Karl, his statement was recorded and caused a whirlwind on social media, loyalty, Bayern's status as a big club"
"Speaking to Magenta TV (as captured by @iMiaSanMia), Hoeneß gave a very clear and mature stand on how to deal with such incidents. "What he said about Real Madrid is something any young boy would say. Michael Rummenigge also said something similar back in the day. Young players can say something like that. They just need to be careful not to overdo it. Otherwise it's not a problem at all" he said."
Lennart Karl told members of a fanclub that he admired Real Madrid and desired to play there, believing the meeting was private. The remark was recorded and ignited controversy on social media over loyalty and Bayern's status. Bayern management treated the incident as youthful indiscretion, reported that Karl privately apologized, and settled the matter without escalation. Former Bayern president Uli Hoeneß compared the situation to similar past remarks by Michael Rummenigge, calling such comments typical of young players. Hoeneß advised tolerance and caution, emphasizing that young players must avoid exaggeration and that the incident posed no lasting problem.
