900 days after being too 'upset'!

Lionel Messi FINALLY swaps shirts with Alphonso

Alphonso Davies finally got his hands on a Lionel Messi shirt after Bayern Munich’s Champions League win over PSG, two-and-a-half years after the Argentine was “too upset” to swap jerseys.

The Canadian full-back was denied Messi’s shirt back in August 2020, when Bayern knocked eight goals past Barcelona in a memorable Champions League quarter-final.

After that game at the Camp Nou, Davies failed in his pursuit of the ultimate souvenir. “I asked for it but I think he was a little bit upset,” the left-back told BT Sport. “It’s OK, next time hopefully.”

But over 900 days later and the 22-year-old eventually managed to get the shirt he has always dreamed of.
