After performance against Real: Karl has to report to advisor Ballack | OneFootball

Lennart Karl played no part in FC Bayern’s 4-3 win at home against Real Madrid. He had to watch this big game due to injury, but he was still in the spotlight to a certain extent

Because the youngster likes to stand out, and you can tell. He is a young professional footballer who likes to dress conspicuously from time to time and is also a talking point around the pitch. That’s not really a problem, because that’s how many professionals behave, whether they’re teenagers or not

A torn muscle fibre is currently slowing Karl down, and the same applies to Tom Bischof. Karl watched Bayern win this dramatic match in the stands. The attacking player took his place in the stands in a pink tracksuit, pink cap and matching sneakers and joined in the excitement. After the final whistle, Karl was allowed inside, celebrated with the other players in front of the fan curve and jumped for joy at reaching the semi-finals. That didn’t go down well everywhere

Karl has to report to Ballack

Michael Ballack, Karl’s advisor, who was on duty with DAZN, commented on the jubilant scene as follows: „The fact that he’s jumping at all is already too much. But it’s down to the euphoria and youthfulness.“ The former international was of course alluding to the fact that Karl should have taken it easy due to his injury. A somewhat more restrained celebration would have been appropriate

Ballack didn’t leave the choice of outfit completely uncommented on either, but rather brushed it off with a smile. „He’ll get the beef in the dressing room, I’m sure of it.“ This was also a reference to the fact that all spectators should come to the stadium dressed in red

After that, Ballack became a little more serious again. When asked by DAZN presenter Laura Wontorra (37) whether Karl would receive a personal message from advisor Ballack to respond to the cheers, among other things, he replied briefly and succinctly: „Definitely!“
