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”, Freund told Sky Sports (via Kerry Hau as captured by Twitter account @iMiaSanMia). “Everyone was delighted for him. It’s a nice story.”
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.
