He started the scoring for Bayern on Wednesday in his first Champions League start with a shot from outside the box against Club Brugge. Saturday, he capped off Bayern\u2019s scoring in domestic competition with another shot from outside the box and make it 3-0. After the match Joshua Kimmich \u2014 who wore the captain\u2019s armband in Saturday\u2019s match at M\u00f6nchengladbach \u2014 was asked about the season that Karl has had and his future with Germany\u2019s senior national team.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Kimmich said this to the press \u2014 as reported by <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/iMiaSanMia\/status\/1982141947507524006\">@iMiaSanMia<\/a> \u2014 \u201cLenny is brave and self-confident \u2013 \u200b\u200bthat definitely helps him. He\u2019s at the beginning of his career. I hope he really enjoys this moment and this year \u2013 with little expectation and pressure. The most important thing for him now is that he consistently delivers his performances on the pitch.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Kimmich also spoke about Karl being called up to the national team, and how it could be similar to his own journey. \u201cI joined the national team after my first season at Bayern. Back then, it was still unusual for someone to make their international debut after four or five Bundesliga games. Nowadays, you get the feeling it can happen a bit faster. Of course, at a World Cup or even during the year, you always have the chance as a national team coach to bring players who are in good form. In any case, Lenny is on a very good path, and we will continue to support him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Lenny \u2014 still 17 years old \u2014 has ten appearances for Germany\u2019s U16 team since September of last year and scored seven goals at that level.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Bayern Munich traveled to Borussia M\u00f6nchengladbach for a Bundesliga tilt featuring the league first-place and last-place teams.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The game went as expected \u2014 especially after Gladbach picked up an early red card, which completely shifted the momentum into Bayern Munich\u2019s favor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">It was a daunting task to ask Gladbach to hold strong for over 70 minutes and eventually Die Fohlen just broke down. Ultimately, Bayern Munich walked away with a 3-0 victory over Gladbach.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Let\u2019s get into all on this edition of the Bavarian Podcast Works \u2014 Postgame Show:<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Also, be sure to stay tuned to Bavarian Podcast Works for all of your up to date coverage on Bayern Munich and Germany.
