Bayern Munich star Lennart Karl appeared in press statements after the 6-2 victory over Freiburg in the eleventh round of the German Bundesliga.

The young player said: "Comparing yourself to Messi? Many talk about that, but for me, I do not compare myself to Messi because Messi is at a very high level. I still have a long way to go."

He added regarding his substitution due to injury: "I received a hit yesterday during training, but everything is fine now, there is nothing serious."

He continued: "I am confident in myself and not afraid of competitors. As I have always said, I just play in my own style. Of course, I should not exaggerate too much, but I play my own way and just try to perform well."

Regarding his participation as a starter: "It was good. Honestly, I did not expect to participate, but I found myself listed as number 10, so I was very happy."

And whether he felt the responsibility when the team was trailing: "Of course, I have to give my best in every match. I cannot relax because of just one goal. So I always work at my maximum capacity. After scoring, you feel energetic and enthusiastic. You want to control every ball and feel confident to try more things, and that is why everything went well with the goal. Some moves after that were also very good."
