Bayern Munich star Alphonso Davies finally got his hands on Lionel Messi ’s shirt – three years after being disappointed with his initial request.
Davies was a half-time substitute as Bayern completed a deserved one-goal victory away to Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of their Champions League Round of 16 tie. Messi played the full 90 minutes for Les Parisiens but was far from his usual influential self.
It was the first time the two had been on the same pitch since Bayern Munich defeated Barcelona 8-2 in the Champions League quarter final match in the summer of 2020. That was on the way to Bayern lifting the trophy, as they saw off PSG in the final.
