Bayern Munich legend Lothar Matthäus has urged young forward Lennart Karl to adopt a more disciplined approach, suggesting the teenager needs "a bit less bling" in his game.

Karl, who celebrated his first goal for the club during a Bundesliga match against Elversberg at the Ursapharm-Arena on October 29, 2026, has shown promise but Matthäus believes he must focus on consistency and hard work.

The former Germany captain's comments come as Karl continues to develop within the Bayern setup, with the club monitoring his progress closely.
