The match took place in the third round of the Champions League, in the context of Bayern Munich being completely comfortable mentally after the first two wins in this arena. Therefore, coach Vincent Kompany tested the precious gem likened to "Germany's Yamal" in the continental playground.

That is Lennart Karl, a player who is only 17 years and 8 months old. Karl is 1m68 tall, left-footed and has a playing style similar to Messi.

Karl made his Bayern Munich debut last season, when the team participated in the FIFA Club World Cup in June. At that time, not many people paid attention to him, because the opponent was only a semi-professional Auckland team.

Musiala's injury has created an opportunity for Karl, who has started to be used more by coach Kompany this season.

In round 4 of the Bundesliga, Karl scored with 1 assist to help Bayern Munich beat Hoffenheim, and in today's match, he officially scored in his first starting match in the Champions League.

And it was another masterpiece, opening up an easy win for Bayern Munich.

In the 5th minute, Karl received the ball from Upamecano in the middle of the field. He skillfully turned around, eliminated 2 Club Brugge players and then charged straight into the middle.

Club Brugge's defenders seemed to think Karl would pass to Kane, Diaz or Olise, so they let Karl continue to break through. On the edge of the penalty area, the German player kicked the ball with his left foot into the far corner of the goal, opening the score for Bayern Munich.

Karl's goal opened a favorable night for Bayern Munich. Just 9 minutes later, Harry Kane continued his winning streak when he scored to double the gap for the "gray tigers".

This goal also marked Kane's 19th goal this season. A terrible performance, when the season is still in the warm-up stage.

The match was completely one-sided for the German top team with Luis Diaz and Nicolas Jackson scoring the next goals to seal a 4-0 win. Bayern Munich maintained their position at the top of the Champions League group with a perfect record of 3 wins.

With Karl, he officially made history by becoming the youngest player to score for Bayern Munich in the Champions League.

And German football seems to have found a gem to compare with Spain's Lamine Yamal.
