German legend Lothar Matthäus expressed his support for the statements of young Bayern Munich star Linart Karl, after the latter expressed his desire to play for Real Madrid in the future, affirming that such statements reflect ambition and self-confidence and do not carry any offense.

Matthäus said that Karl's talk was completely appropriate, adding that it is the right of any young player to dream of playing for the biggest clubs in the world, foremost among them Real Madrid, which is considered a historic destination for football stars.

The former German football star admitted that he himself had wished to wear the royal club's jersey during his career, but circumstances at the time prevented that, after Inter Milan refused to allow him to leave.

Matthäus concluded his talk by emphasizing that dreams and ambitions are what drive players to develop and achieve success, stressing the importance of supporting young talents instead of criticizing them.
