"Lenny is brave and self-confident - that definitely helps him. He's at the beginning of his career. I hope he really enjoys this moment and this year - with little expectation and pressure. The most important thing for him now is that he consistently delivers his performances on the pitch."
"I joined the national team after my first season at Bayern. Back then, it was still unusual for someone to make their international debut after four or five Bundesliga games. Nowadays, you get the feeling it can happen a bit faster. Of course, at a World Cup or even during the year, you always have the chance as a national team coach to bring players who are in good form. In any case, Lenny is on a very good path, and we will continue to support him."
"Lenny - still 17 years old - has ten appearances for Germany's U16 team since September of last year and scored seven goals at that level."
Lennart Karl opened the scoring for Bayern in his first Champions League start with an outside-the-box shot against Club Brugge and later capped a domestic victory with another long-range goal to make it 3-0. Joshua Kimmich described Karl as brave and self-confident, urged him to enjoy the moment with minimal pressure, and emphasized the need for consistent performances. Kimmich compared Karl's potential national-team trajectory to his own early call-up. Karl, 17, has ten Germany U16 appearances since September and seven goals. Bayern's match at Mönchengladbach saw an early Gladbach red card shift momentum and hand Bayern control.
