Bayern Munich’s Alphonso Davies made his return to the starting XI after battling an injury and made a very positive impact in his team’s 5-1 victory by contributing a goal and being a menace for the opposition to deal with.

After the match, Davies said he knew the magnitude of such a showdown and the implications it could have on the league title race.

“We wanted to win this game despite what happened last game against Mainz. We wanted to come back and show that we have more in the tank. We did that today,” Davies told ESPN’s Archie Rhind-Tutt (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).

The result was, indeed, extremely important for both teams as Bayern Munich cemented itself as the league frontrunner, while RB Leipzig has to examine why things are operating at an optimal level.

As for Davies, interest from Real Madrid, FC Barcelona, Manchester United, and Liverpool FC is looming. In just a few days, the Canadian will be able to formally start talking to those clubs about his future.

WIll the Canadian be back with Bayern Munich...or move on?
