👀 Not good enough for Bayern: Basler slams Lennart Karl | OneFootball

Lennart Karl is currently astonishing football fans across Germany on a regular basis. The 17-year-old is dazzling for FC Bayern Munich at the highest level. Recently, he led FCB to victory against Sporting Lisbon (3:1) in the Champions League with his third consecutive CL goal.

However, despite this, a career at Bayern Munich is not in his future.

Yes – at least that's what former Bayern player Mario Basler claimed in a conversation with 'Absolut Fußball': "In the end, he's simply not good enough for Bayern Munich."

Basler cited Karl's short stature of 1.68 meters as the main reason for his bold claim. The 56-year-old also dismissed any comparison to Jamal Musiala.

"I think there's still a big difference between Musiala and Lennart Karl." Unlike the DFB star, Karl is simply not exceptional enough to shine at Bayern in the long term.

Right, Mario – what Lennart Karl is currently doing game after game is quite ordinary for a mere 17-year-old.
