Bayern Munich Defender Express Joy Playing in the UEFA Champions League Final
Bayern Munich scored in both half to knock Olympique Lyon out of the Uefa Champions League, Gnabry opened the scoring in the first 18 minutes of the game before doubling the scores in the 33rd minute to end the first half. The last goal came in the 88th minute of the game as Polish striker Robert Lewandowski found the back of the net to round the scores to 3-0.
After the match Canada full-back Alphonso Davies came out to say reaching the Champions League final is “a dream come true” for him. The 19-year-old joined Bayern Munich from Vancouver Whitecaps last year 2019 for a then Major League Soccer record £9.84m, he is set to become the first Canada international to play in the final of Europe’s elite club competition.
According to the Bayern Munich defender, he said: “Playing in the Champions League and getting to the final is everything you could ask for.” The German giants Bayern Munich will be aiming to win their sixth European Cup against French champions Paris St-Germain who knocked out German side Red Bull Leipzig.
The final will be played on Sunday, Davies, who also impressed in the 4-1 win over Chelsea in the last 16 and the 8-2 quarter-final demolition of Barcelona, says his side will be “hungry” to see out the season in style. “PSG are a good team. Right now we celebrate a bit, then we focus on the next game.”
“It will be a good game – there will be goals in that game. This is what you dream about as a footballer: playing with the best and against the best in Europe.
He also said: “It is a dream come true. Even though they [the older players in the squad] have won many many titles before they are still hungry to win this one.” A winner’s medal would also be a fine conclusion to the season for Davies, who asked to swap shirts with Barcelona legend Lionel Messi after their last-eight tie. “I asked for it [Messi’s shirt]. But I think he was a little bit upset. Next time, maybe,” he added.
