And with a 20-minute cameo in Bayern\u2019s 6-0 Bundesliga opener victory over RB Leipzig on Friday, Karl is showing that he is very much a part of head coach Vincent Kompany\u2019s plans.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cIt\u2019s just a lot of fun with the guys,\u201d Karl said in post-match comments captured by Sky Germany reporter Kerry Hau (via <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/iMiaSanMia\/status\/1959003468619780258\" rel=\"nofollow\">@iMiaSanMia<\/a>). \u201cI\u2019m learning so much and am very happy that the coach is counting on me. I just want to keep going, lead the way, and lead the team to the league title. It\u2019s Bayern Munich, one of the biggest clubs in the world \u2014 I have to work hard for it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">After subbing on in the 69th minute, Karl enjoyed a couple of decent opportunities on goal while donning the #42 shirt \u2014 which must be a familiar sight for Bayern fans after seeing Jamal Musiala, now the #10, wear the same during his meteoric rise.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cI know what Musiala is capable of. He\u2019s a role model for me,\u201d Karl added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 _16w9vova ls9zuh1\">Stay tuned. There is much more to come from this young man.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig locked horns for what was anticipated as a clash of titans to raise the curtain for the forthcoming Bundesliga season, but what followed was a massacre of Biblical proportions. Bayern had looked shaky in their last few outings, and Leipzig had a lot to prove after some big changes in the team, which meant that both teams, while possessing some massive talents, had chips on their shoulders and something to strive towards.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Helping us dissect the corpse left in Bayern\u2019s wake is Rayyan (Cyler), returning to the pod after a lengthy hiatus to perform some semblance of autopsy, although it seems this game was far more about the pure joy of watching what happened than picking apart the details of what actually did happen.
