was running up and down the left flank for Bayern Munich on Tuesday had his teammates comparing him to a cartoon character.
Bayern said Davies made 42 sprints in all. He was involved in plenty of challenges, too, and was harshly booked late on for bringing down American teenager Gio Reyna outside the penalty area when TV replays showed he got the ball. His emergence is bad news for Bayern’s record signing Lucas Hernandez.

Hernandez only came on in the 85th minute against Dortmund.
Davies’ story was already a remarkable one. His parents, Victoria and Debeah, fled civil war in Monrovia, the capital city of Liberia in western Africa, for Buduburam, a refugee camp west of Accra in Ghana. Alphonso was born there, and the family continued living there until he was 5 years old before moving to Canada in 2006.
