Seventeen-year-old Lenart Karl made history as Bayern Munich defeated Sporting Lisbon 3–1 in the UEFA Champions League. Karl scored a decisive goal in the second half, helping Bayern overturn an early own goal by Joshua Kimmich. His performance not only secured victory but also set a new record, making him the youngest player ever to score in three consecutive Champions League matches. The record previously belonged to Kylian Mbappé, who achieved the feat at 18 years and 113 days while playing for AS Monaco. Karl, at just 17 years and 290 days, surpassed that milestone, drawing widespread attention from fans and analysts. Despite the presence of star striker Harry Kane, Karl emerged as Bayern’s main attacking threat, showcasing composure and precision beyond his years. The teenager’s rapid rise has sparked speculation about a potential call-up to Germany’s senior national team ahead of the next World Cup. His breakout performance signals a new generation of European football talent challenging established stars like Mbappé.
