Lennart Karl previously felt the sting of Bayer Leverkusen’s U-19 win over Bayern Munich’s U-19s in the U-19 Bundesliga semifinals. He has since become an important player for Bayern’s first team and earned a place in Germany’s squad for the 2026 World Cup. The squad announcement left several young players, including Saïd El Mala and Tom Bischof, out of the final 26-man roster. Karl responded with joy, saying the opportunity to play in the World Cup for his country is a dream come true. The focus now is on finishing a highly successful season with a strong performance in the USA.
"A dream comes true. I can play in the World Cup for my country. Thank you for all the support. Let's goooo."
"One must really congratulate the youngster for an incredible, meteoric rise that transcends all that anyone could have expected this season. Now the hope is that he can end such an incredibly successful season on a high note in the USA."
"12 months ago, at the time of writing, Lennart Karl was still smarting after Bayer Leverkusen's U-19s knocked out Bayern Munich's U-19's in the semifinals of the U-19 Bundesliga. Now, he can not only pride himself on becoming on an important player for the Bavarians' first team, but he can also celebrate making it into Germany's squad for the 2026 World Cup."
