Alphonso Davies live streams tearful reaction as Canada reach first World Cup in 36 years

Bayern Munich star Alphonso Davies tearfully live-streamed his reaction to Canada sealing their place at the 2022 Qatar World Cup, the first World Cup the nation has reached since 1986.

A 4-0 win over Jamaica was enough to book their place at international football's biggest stage for the first time in 36 years. Davies was not present for the victory as the 21-year-old continues his recovery from being diagnosed with mild myocarditis - an inflammatory heart condition. "I'm going to the World Cup. We're going to the World Cup, man! I cannot believe it," Davies said. "I'm tearing up. My dream has come true."

Davies has made great strides in his recovery after stepping up his rehabilitation to now reach a stage where he has returned to training with Bayern, and manager Julian Nagelsmann has even said he could return in time for the upcoming Champions League quarter-final against Villarreal.
