"Lennart Karl earned a first ever Champions League start with Bayern Munich against Club Brugge, in only his second appearance in the tournament, and he opened the scoring with a sumptuous finish after only five minutes played. He earned a Player of the Match award afterwards, while Christoph Freund can only praise the club's new starboy. "The coach trusted him, and before the game we said to each other: 'We have a feeling the boy will score his first goal today.' - And it happened""
"Karl is only 17 years old but he's already making a name for himself at the highest level. The heir to the throne...of Jamal Musiala's #42, he's doing the number justice as he continues to impress in the absence of his predecessor. Bayern Munich hosted Club Brugge in the Champions League and while the Belgian side was game, the Bavarians were just better. A lot better."
Lennart Karl started his first Champions League match for Bayern Munich and scored within five minutes with a sumptuous finish. Karl received the Player of the Match award and earned praise from sporting director Christoph Freund, who noted the coach's trust and the belief that Karl would score. Karl, aged 17, is emerging as the successor to Jamal Musiala's number 42 and is impressing in the absence of his predecessor. Bayern dominated Club Brugge and secured a 4-0 victory, with strong team performance and positive implications for future selections and tactics.
