"Karl picked up a pass in midfield from Jonathan Tah, dodged past defender Brandon Mechele and surged to the edge of the Brugge box before hitting a swerving left-foot shot which went in over goalkeeper Nordin Jackers. Karl sprinted to the corner to celebrate with a knee slide before Bayern striker Harry Kane and midfielder Aleksandar Pavlovic rushed over to hug their young teammate."
"At 17 years, 242 days old, Karl breaks a record set by Musiala, who was 121 days older when he scored against Lazio in a round-of-16 game four years ago. Karl wears the same shirt number, 42, that Musiala wore in that game. It's Karl's first senior club goal in his 10th Bayern appearance in all competitions. He made his debut at the Club World Cup in a 10-0 thrashing of Auckland City in June."
Seventeen-year-old Lennart Karl started his first Champions League match for Bayern Munich and scored within five minutes against Club Brugge. Karl received a pass from Jonathan Tah, dodged Brandon Mechele, surged to the box and hit a swerving left-foot shot over goalkeeper Nordin Jackers. He celebrated with a knee-slide as Harry Kane and Aleksandar Pavlovic hugged him. At 17 years, 242 days, Karl became Bayern's youngest Champions League goalscorer, breaking Jamal Musiala's record and wearing shirt number 42 like Musiala. The goal was his first senior club goal in his 10th Bayern appearance; he debuted at the Club World Cup in a 10-0 win over Auckland City in June.
