UEFA Champions League: The return of Alphonso Davies after a nine-month-long injury break has triggered a spirit of optimism around the reigning German champion Bayern Munich. While the Canadian international received enthusiastic cheers from the crowd when returning to competition against Sporting in the UEFA Champions League (3-1), the club's training sessions are shaped by a noticeable rise in mood.

"Last year, we had the story of Harry Kane and Eric Dier, taking a title for the first time. This year, it is the intense effort of Phonzy, Ito, and Jamal delivering additional determination," coach Vincent Kompany said.

The Bayern Munich coach spoke about the returnees as new arrivals, boosting morale and increasing the chances to not only win the German double but also advance in the Champions League, reports Xinhua.
