Lennart Karl Makes History Again at Just 17
It’s not every day we get to talk about a teenager who’s rewriting Champions League history as if it were a school notebook, but that’s exactly what’s happening with Lennart Karl. At just 17 years old, he’s become one of the brightest and most unexpected stars in European football this season. And now, he’s done it again — another milestone smashed, another moment that has everyone talking.
The latest chapter came in Bayern Munich’s clash with Sporting, where Lennart scored in the 69th minute. That goal not only put Bayern ahead 2–1, it also pushed him into the record books for the second time in a matter of weeks. He’s now the youngest player ever to score in three consecutive Champions League matches. Think about that for a moment — three straight games, three straight goals, all before turning 18. It’s the kind of accomplishment most players dream about long after their careers have begun, but Lennart is living it before he’s even old enough to buy a celebratory beer in Germany.

His rise has been rapid, almost unreal. Back in October, he became the youngest goalscorer in Champions League history when he struck from the start against Club Brugge. That moment alone would’ve been enough to label him a generational talent. But instead of slowing down or letting the pressure catch up to him, he’s picked up speed. Bayern fans wondered how the team would cope when Jamal Musiala got injured, but Lennart was the one who stepped forward, filling that gap with surprising maturity and confidence.
He’s now made 19 first-team appearances for Bayern and already contributed four goals and two assists. One of those goals was even voted “Goal of the Month,” a reminder that his talent isn’t just about timing — it’s about sheer quality. His performances have also sparked national conversations in Germany. Should he be fast-tracked into the senior squad ahead of next year’s World Cup? Some argue it’s too soon, but legendary winger Franck Ribéry isn’t buying that. In his words: “Why should he wait? In football, there is no time.” And honestly, given how Lennart is playing, it’s hard to disagree.
Whether it’s in the Bundesliga or under the Champions League lights, Lennart Karl continues to act like a player who’s been in the spotlight for years. He’s calm, clinical, creative — and most importantly, fearless. And the best part? His story is only just beginning.
