""It's simply the truth," Kimmich said when asked about Karl (via Sport1, translation by @iMiaSanMia). "If someone plays regularly for Bayern and consistently delivers good performances and is German, he belongs in the German national team in the long run - if he can confirm that over weeks and months.""
"Karl once again scored alongside Harry Kane to earn Bayern Munich a difficult (and unexpected) 2-2 draw against bottom placed Mainz. He has scored 6 goals and registered 2 assists already this season, at a rate of 0.81 G+A per 90 minutes. Joshua Kimmich believes that simply putting up these numbers at Bayern Munich is enough to earn a callup. To be honest, it's hard to argue otherwise. Yes, Karl is surrounded by some of the best players in the world - but he does not look like the odd man out when he sees game time."
""If you perform consistently at Bayern, then you belong in the national team," Joshua Kimmich concluded."
Joshua Kimmich publicly stated that a German player who performs regularly and well for Bayern Munich should belong in the national team if form is sustained over weeks and months. Seventeen-year-old Lennart Karl scored again alongside Harry Kane to secure a 2-2 draw with Mainz and has six goals and two assists this season, averaging 0.81 G+A per 90. Karl frequently stands out even among Bayern’s top players and often outshines peers when given game time. Rising calls now urge Julian Nagelsmann to consider Karl for a national-team callup toward the 2026 World Cup.
