“I’m involved in 50 percent of his goals” – Hoeneß makes bold Karl claim after criticism

Bayern Munich honorary president Uli Hoeness jokingly claimed he was involved in half of Lennart Karl's recent goals following his prior public criticism of the teenager. Speaking on BR's Sonntags-Stammtisch program, Hoeness connected his feedback to the 18-year-old's upturn in form, which included decisive goals in Bayern's 2-0 win over Atletico Madrid and a 2-1 victory against Mainz.

Hoeness previously criticized Karl for a perceived lack of humility and addressed his broader concerns regarding social media, calling the influencer world a cesspit. He emphasized his responsibility as an experienced figure to guide emerging talents and ensure they stay focused on their football.
