For the second leg of their heavyweight Champions League semi-final match, the Canadian international was in the city of Spain. He came on as a substitute for the injured Serge Gnabry early in the match, and in the 68th minute, he scored a spectacular goal that seemed to break the tie.

Thanks to a late goal from Joselu, Real turned the tide of the match, forcing Davies to consider his options and face doubts about his future. The jet-heeled 23-year-old, whose contract in Germany is about to expire, has frequently been linked to a move to Madrid.

When asked about his long-term plans, Davies responded, “Will I play here at the Bernabuu next?,” when asked if the Blancos would make an approach during the summer transfer window or wait until he hits free agency in 2025. Bayern and my agency are now in communication. I am really appreciative of Bayern no matter what.

Ferland Mendy has made a good comeback to form in left-back this season, thus Real doesn’t need to press for Davies at this time. But the Canadian speedster has long been a target, and the Allianz Arena’s absence of new conditions raises the possibility that a fresh challenge could be appealing.
