Bayern boom: Lennart Karl shines, Jackson disappoints in Gladbach!
What an evening for FC Bayern Munich! With a confident 3-0 win against Borussia Mönchengladbach, the team cemented their run and equalized AC Milan's historic start record from the 1992/93 season. After just 81 minutes, young Lennart Karl (17) was able to celebrate his goals when he scored his first Bundesliga goal just five minutes after being substituted on. What a performance!
But the show already started in the Champions League. A few days ago, Karl attracted everyone's attention with his impressive performance against Club Brugge (4-0), becoming the youngest goalscorer in FC Bayern's history in this competition. Coach Vincent Kompany celebrated his young star, who scored the first goal in the 5th minute and not only this goal, but also the Player of the Match award speaks volumes about the 17-year-old's talent.
A high for Lennart Karl
At just 17 years and eight months old, Karl overtakes Jamal Musiala's previous records and enters the club's history books. He now leads the list of youngest goalscorers in the Champions League, which already includes big names such as Sammy Kuffour, Roque Santa Cruz and Thomas Müller. He was also two months younger than Musiala, who previously held this record. But that's not all! After ten competitive appearances for Bayern, this goal is just the beginning.
Karl seems to be developing just as well in the Bundesliga. His relentless hunger to attack and keen eye for goals could bring the team many gifts this season. Meanwhile, Nicolas Jackson (24), on loan from Chelsea, is finding himself in a difficult phase. With a poor performance against Gladbach and a disappointing grade from BILD (grade 5), the pressure on the striker is increasing. While Jackson and the question of his playing times are being hotly debated in the media, Karl is gaining more and more profile.
A look at the records
The list of Bayern's youngest goalscorers in the Champions League shows how sought-after this talent already is:
| Place | name | Old |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Lennart Karl | 17 years, 8 months |
| 2 | Jamal Musiala | 17 years, 11 months, 28 days |
| 3 | Sammy Kuffour | 18 years, 1 month, 28 days |
| 4 | Roque Santa Cruz | 18 years, 2 months, 30 days |
| 5 | Mathy's phone | 18 years, 4 months, 24 days |
It remains to be seen how the coaches and those around them deal with Lennart Karl's sudden fame. Vincent Kompany has already issued warnings not to give too much weight to the hype surrounding the young player. It's important to keep an eye on this, because as we all know, pressure can also bring you to your knees.
With FC Bayern's current run and Karl's brilliance, the chances are good that an exciting season is ahead for the Munich team!
