""That someone not even 18-years-old is playing at this level in the Champions League is not a given and shows that Karl is highly talented. He also has healthy self-confidence. I like his audacity in trying things out," Hamann told Sport Bild. "He plays carefree, as if he were on a local pitch. He's incredibly difficult to stop in one-on-one situations. He keeps trying, even if he gets thwarted. That kind of player helps any team. He's an incredibly interesting player and his style reminds me of Franck Ribéry.""
""Karl is one of the most promising players, not only for FC Bayern, but also for German football. Whether he can be a candidate for the national team? He's only started a Champions League match once. We'll have to wait and see what happens in seven or eight months. I would be cautious and keep my expectations low for now," Hamann said."
Lennart Karl, still under 18, is competing at Champions League level, demonstrating audacity, healthy self-confidence, and a carefree approach that makes him extremely difficult to stop one-on-one. His persistence after setbacks and willingness to attempt risky plays align with traits of dynamic attackers like Franck Ribéry, indicating substantial upside. Realistic national-team consideration is premature given a single Champions League start; outcomes depend on continued development over the next seven to eight months. Paris Saint-Germain's recent struggles illustrate how difficult it is to repeat Champions League success, underscoring the need for Bayern Munich to capitalize on current form.
