Overview
- Karl, 17 years and 290 days old, became the youngest player to score in three straight Champions League matches.
- He put Bayern ahead with a 69th-minute right-foot volley from a Konrad Laimer cross past Rui Silva after an earlier strike was ruled offside by VAR.
- Bayern overturned a 1-0 deficit at the Allianz Arena for a 3-1 win, with Jonathan Tah adding a late goal after an early own goal by Joshua Kimmich.
- Vincent Kompany praised Karl's reliability in decisive moments, while sporting director Max Eberl highlighted his rare, uncoachable feel in the box.
- Kimmich said the teenager's form makes a Germany call-up hard to ignore, as Karl noted focused work on his weaker foot and downplayed immediate national-team contact.
