A 17-year-old new star is born! Bayern has found the "next Robben"

3:58pm, 27 October 2025【Football】

Only three days ago, he became famous in the Champions League; now, the 17-year-old genius Lennart Karl is shining brightly in the Bundesliga again. In Bayern Munich's 3-0 victory over Monchengladbach on the evening of October 25, the youngster scored again and became the most dazzling star in the game.

Become a god in one battle and score consecutive goals to amaze Germany

In the 81st minute of the game, Karl caught the ball at the edge of the penalty area. After deftly turning around to get rid of the defense, he shot a graceful arc into the dead center! This goal not only opened the scoring for Bayern, but also ignited the entire stadium. This is his second consecutive game after scoring in the Champions League in midweek, and he announced his rise with two "magic goals".

Although Bayern has top stars such as Harry Kane and Luis Dias, the focus of this game belongs to this 17-year-old youth training star. Every time he touches the ball, he is full of confidence and intelligence. His movement, rhythm control and shot timing are not like a fledgling teenager at all, but like a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time.

After the game, Spain's "AS" directly headlined: "Bayern has found 'Robben's successor'!" On social media, fans praised him as "Messi at the Allianz Arena" and "a new generation of artists", praising him for injecting long-lost passion and creativity into Bayern.

Playing with freedom and happiness awakens Bayern's "Robery Soul"

Former German international player Didi Hamann commented: "The most rare thing about Karl is 'unrestrained' - he plays without pressure, full of confidence, dares to break through one-on-one, and is not afraid of making mistakes." It is this pure love that makes every dribbling and every celebration of his play filled with a child-like smile.

Once upon a time, Bayern swept Europe with the wing storm of the "Robbery" combination (Robben + Ribery). Now, with the retirement of Franck Ribery and Robben, this style of playing full of improvisation and artistry seems to be gradually disappearing. But Karl's appearance seems to have awakened that glorious memory - his bold inside cuts, delicate ball control and decisive shooting make people vaguely see the shadow of "Scar Man" Robben.

However, Karl is not a simple copy. He is calmer and more composed, with the mature temperament unique to players who have grown up in the digital age. He is not imitating the legend, but writing his own story.

After the game, although coach Kompany remained calm, he could not hide his joy: "I don't like excessive hype. Karl needs to stay focused and continue to work hard." But he also admitted that when a 17-year-old boy can score consecutive goals in the Champions League and Bundesliga, you can no longer hide him on the bench.

In fact, Carl did not become famous overnight. From the beginning of the season, Kompany has carefully cultivated him and only let him appear at the most appropriate time. Today, this young player who can play with both feet and can play on either wing has become Bayern's "secret weapon" in his tactics - he can break the balance with a flash of inspiration in a deadlock, which is the most scarce trait of young players.

Under the leadership of Kompany, Bayern is experiencing a youth storm. In addition to Karl, new stars such as Pavlovich and Bischoff have gradually entered the main lineup. This team, led by veterans such as Kane, Kimmich, and Neuer, is being injected with unprecedented vitality.
