Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen are set for a high-stakes showdown in the Champions League knockout stage, and Alphonso Davies is eager for the battle.
The Canadian star, who secured Bayern’s spot in the Round of 16 with a dramatic last-minute goal against Celtic, knows the challenge ahead. “This will be a very interesting meeting! Leverkusen has a strong team,” he said.
Reflecting on Bayern’s recent record against their Bundesliga rivals, Davies acknowledged the difficulty of past encounters. “We also know that it was some time ago that we last hit her,” he admitted, before adding with confidence, “But I am optimistic that we will succeed now!”
The head-to-head record between the two teams is evenly matched, with both Bayern and Leverkusen winning three of their last ten meetings, while four ended in draws.
Davies, who has featured in seven Champions League matches this season and found the net once, will be crucial as Bayern looks to reclaim dominance against their formidable German rivals.
