Bayern Munich full-back Alphonso Davies says reaching the Champions League final is “a dream come true”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Davies, 19, joined Bayern from Vancouver Whitecaps in 2019 for a then Major League Soccer record \u00a39.84m<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He is set to become the first Canada international to play in the final of Europe’s elite club competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Playing in the Champions League and getting to the final is everything you could ask for,” he told BT Sport after the 3-0 semi-final win over Lyon.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n German giants Bayern will be aiming to win their sixth European Cup against French champions Paris St-Germain – who are playing in their first final – on Sunday (20:00 BST).<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Bundesliga club saw off Lyon to reach the showpiece for the 11th time – albeit for the first time in seven years – with another superb attacking display on Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “PSG are a good team. Right now we celebrate a bit, then we focus on the next game,” he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “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.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “I asked for it [Messi’s shirt]. But I think he was a little bit upset. Next time, maybe,” he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Victory on Sunday would cap a truly stellar season for Bayern, who have already posted some impressive stats:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Alphonso Davies (right) was born in a refugee camp in Ghana in 2000 Bayern Munich full-back Alphonso Davies says reaching the Champions League final is “a dream come true”.
