Add another milestone to Alphonso Davies’ resume in what’s been a remarkable season.
In the end, though, Bayern succeeded and finish the campaign with its second treble in club history, becoming one of just two European clubs to win multiple trebles.better or worseUltimately, Davies was neither a liability nor a benefit. He provided a sublime cross for Robert Lewandowski in the 23rd minute that was inches away from being converted, but other than that, PSG right-back Thilo Kehrer and midfielder Ander Herrera were able to nullify the Canadian’s influence in the final third.
That being said, Davies produced a quality piece of defending late in the game. With PSG countering, Davies was marking Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting tightly as they both sprinted into the box. Right as Neymar crossed the ball toward Choupo-Moting, Davies moved goal-side between the forward and the ball, winning a foul as a result.

It forced PSG to overload Coman’s flank, thus freeing up the opposite side, which is where the buildup for the goal occurred.
