Bayern Munich full-back Alphonso Davies said Lionel Messi wouldn’t give him his shirt after Barcelona‘s 8-2 loss to the German champions on Aug. 14.

“Yeah I asked for it, but I think he was a little upset,” Davies told BT Sport. “It’s OK, though, next time hopefully.”
The Canada international had a quieter match against Lyon than he did in a dominant showing against Barcelona, but that didn’t stop his rampant Bayern side from rolling into a record-tying sixth final in the Champions League era since 1992-93.
After the match, Davies said: “It feels good. Everyone is happy and playing well. We are happy to make it to the final. PSG is a good team, right now we celebrate a bit then we focus on the next game.
“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.
“It is a dream come true. Playing in the Champions League and getting to the final is everything you could ask for.
“Even though they [the older players in the squad] have won many many titles before they are still hungry to win this one.”
Both Bayern Munich and PSG will be going for a season treble after the two sides won their respective league titles and cup competitions.
