"FC Bayern have a small squad, and everyone knows the risk. You can see the team is getting a little bit tired towards the end of the year. However, you see they have so much quality in the win against Sporting Lisbon, not to mention "Charlemagne", as we call him, Lennart Karl. He scored a fantastic goal yet again. He's 17 years old and now the youngest player ever to score in three consecutive Champions League games - better than Kylian Mbappe at this age!"
"And remember - if they had bought Florian Wirtz, he would have never got this big chance. So, you see, sometimes you have a little bit of luck. The hype around Karl is really big, and we have also contributed to that over at Sport Bild by having him on the title in our weekly magazine - the biggest one in Europe! He's now a firm fan favourite."
FC Bayern operate with a small squad, showing fatigue late in the year but maintaining high quality in results like the Sporting Lisbon win. Seventeen-year-old Lennart Karl has scored in three consecutive Champions League games, becoming the youngest to do so and outperforming Kylian Mbappe at the same age. Karl has become a firm fan favourite, received media exposure including a Sport Bild cover, and is being guided by agent Michael Ballack to develop media skills. Bayern avoided signing Florian Wirtz, which opened Karl's opportunity. Additional transfer updates mention Antoine Semenyo, Michael Olise concerns, Nico Schlotterbeck's desire to leave, Harry Kane contract news, and Daniel Peretz drawing Championship interest while on loan at Hamburg.
