Healthy arrogance: Bayern Munich's prodigy has a perfect solution for handling Instagram

Germany might have a new superstar on the rise - and his name is Lennart Karl.

The 17-year-old Bayern Munich prodigy marked his recent Germany U21 debut with an ice-cold brace, delivering the kind of performance that screams future star and leaving everyone - teammates, coaches, fans - buzzing about the next big thing in German football.

And Karl himself? Confidence overflowing.

"It went perfectly again," he told ran.de. "U21 debut, two goals, a very good performance from the team, a good performance from me. It's just fun to play with this group."

Karl's trademark "healthy arrogance" was on full display - that sharp edge that makes defenders nervous and microphones switch on.

But between the chest-out swagger, the teenager showed he's not just hype, but self-aware.

"Of course I'm in top form right now," he admitted. "Everything is going well at Bayern and everything is going well here. I'm aware of the hype, of course, but I'm not paying attention to what's written on Instagram."

A debut brace, Bayern confidence, U21 spotlight - Lennart Karl isn't arriving. He's announcing himself.
