WHAT FREUND SAID

<p>Bayern are in a strong position this season, sitting eight points clear at the top of the Bundesliga and this week <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/alphonso-davies-steals-win-bayern-sneak-past-celtic-champions-league-play-off-canadian-star-scores-94th-minute-goal-but-concern-grows-for-injured-harry-kane/blt4b558a48ba109b8c" target="_blank">beating Celtic to progress to the last 16 of the Champions League</a>.
