The young footballer’s statement sparked harsh criticism and hate on social media. Karl later had to apologize and also disabled comments on his pages.
“If you’re asked about your dreams, it’s perfectly natural to talk about them. I think, in context, the meaning of those words is harmless,” DAZN quoted Ballack as saying.

In the 2025/2026 season, Karl played 20 senior-level matches, scoring 6 goals and providing 2 assists.
