Youngster Lennart Karl of FC Bayern calls Real Madrid his dream club. Many fans on social media and in the FCBinside community are angry about this statement
Lennart Karl’s statements about his dream club Real Madrid have caused considerable displeasure among many FC Bayern supporters. Frustration quickly erupted in the comments sections of the FCBinside community and on X – in some cases much more sharply than you would expect from a 17-year-old youth player
Some fans reacted with clear disapproval. „He can still leave the club today. There’s no room for traitors in Munich,“ wrote one user in the community. Another commented succinctly and soberly: „Don’t stop a traveller.“ The emotional attachment of many supporters also seems to have suffered as a result of Karl’s words. „He hasn’t done himself any favours now. But it’s good to know. I wouldn’t buy his jersey again!“ was another comment
In addition to anger, many fans were particularly disappointed. Karl’s young age was mentioned several times – not in an apologetic way, however, but as a warning. „You can just tell his age from something like that. A statement like that isn’t particularly clever and can cost a lot of sympathy. Of course it’s honest to say it like that. But it’s precisely when things aren’t going well that he’ll be judged by statements like that,“ wrote one user. Another fan had a similar assessment: „Difficult to say that now at 17. It costs sympathy and generates hate. He can think what he wants, but he shouldn’t have said it publicly.“
Karl raves about Real: „It’s a bit unexpectedly early“
The tone was also clear in some cases on X. One user summed up the mood exaggeratedly: „‚This stays between us‘ – Bro has simply lost his entire fanbase after half a year of professional soccer.“ Another wrote: „I and 95% of all Bayern fans have certainly lost their sympathy for him, if you look at the reactions alone.“
At the same time, however, there were also more nuanced voices. „It’s a bit unexpectedly early to make this statement. Even if as a fan you dream that every player only wants to play for FC Bayern, the reality is different. I have no problem with it as long as he performs and gives his all,“ one comment read.
