Arsenal's game against Bayern Munich highlighted the potential for Alphonso Davies to assume a more advanced role at the club. Davies, originally a left-wing attacker when he joined Bayern Munich from the Vancouver Whitecaps in 2018, has evolved into a recognized left-back over the past eight years.

Bayern's decision to shift Davies to a full-back position has proven successful, and his coach, Kompany, revealed that the plan to utilize his attacking potential was always part of their strategy.
