It was one of the surprise transfers of the last summer transfer window. On July 3, the young Mathys Tel, 17 years old and totally unknown to the general public, joined the great Bayern Munich for just under 30 million euros. The striker had only played seven games in Ligue 1 with Rennes and two in the Europa League Conference without ever experiencing any tenure.
This Saturday, the tricolor nugget was very present in the starting 11 of Julian Nagelsmann. In his new Munich jersey, he quickly distinguished himself by opening the scoring against Stuttgart at the Allianz Arena. Taking advantage of excellent work by Alphonso Davies on the left lane, he stood out in the area to take over the Canadian’s cross with his left foot at the penalty spot. A goal that makes him the youngest scorer in the history of Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga, at 17 years and 136 days.
So far, he had come into play twice against Eintracht Frankfurt (1-6) and Wolfsburg (2-0). By being aligned from the start by Julian Nagelsmann, he had already become the youngest holder in the history of the club in the league. A day that will go down in the history of Bayern despite the bitter taste of the result. The Bavarians were held in check (2-2) by Stuttgart who equalized at the very end of the match on a penalty from Serhou Guirassy, another former Rennes player. This is the third draw in a row for Bayern in the Bundesliga, which has stalled after a brisk start.
