Young Player of the Week

Week 1:

Lennart Karl

Lennart Karl is a bright youngster emerging out of the Bayern Munich academy system. He starred this weekend, scoring one goal and providing an assist in Bayern's 6-2 win over Freiburg. He scored in the 22nd minute to start the comeback, while assisting Micheal Olise in the second minute of first-half stoppage time. His performance continued a brilliant season for club and country. As he is only 17, he has been starring for the German U-21's, scoring 3 in their last 2 games. Karl can play as either a right-winger or center-attacking midfielder. He made his debut in the Club World Cup this summer and since then the records have started to be shattered. He became Bayern's youngest scorer in the Champions League on October 22nd scoring against Club Brugge in a 4-0 victory. If Karl continues his rise, the world needs to prepare.
