Bayern’s Alphonso Davies wanted Lionel Messi’s jersey after the marauding 8-2 win over the Catalan giants.

Alphonso Davies says it is a “dream come true” to reach the Champions League final. Davies remains hopeful of getting his hands on Lionel Messi’s shirt one day. Bayern Munich recently humbled the Barca side by a margin of 8-2 in the Champions League quarter-finals. 

Davies and his Bayern team-mates beat Lyon 3-0 at Estádio Jose Alvalade on Wednesday. Bayern Munich are looking to stay on course for their sixth European title.

Serge Gnabry grabbed a first-half double versus Lyon. The Polish striker nodded in his 55th goal of a staggering season to put Lyon out of their misery later on in the match.

The only blot on a fabulous quarter-final evening for Davies came when he failed to claim Messi’s famous number 10 jersey as a souvenir.

Davies: “There’s going to be goals in the final”

Paris Saint-Germain will lie in wait at Estádio da Luz on Sunday and Davies thinks the final in Lisbon could be a thriller.

“For me, it’s a dream come true. Playing in the Champions League and making it to the final. It’s everything you can ask for,” he said.

“Paris are a good team. For now we celebrate a little bit but afterwards we focus on the next game. It’s going to be a good game, there’s going to be goals in it.

“This is what you dream of as a footballer – playing against the best in Europe. And we’re able to do that, I’m excited.

“It feels good, everyone’s happy and playing well. We’re happy we’ve made it to the final. These guys [Davies’ team-mates] have basically won everything but they’re still excited. They’re still hungry to win this one.”
