RS Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 21 hours ago, Stryker911 said: Whitecaps would receive €1 million should Bayern, with Davies in the starting lineup, win the Champions League on Sunday. Additional bonuses include amount of games played for Bayern, goals scored, a potential Ballon d'Or trophy, and a percentage of any future transfer. I'm sure they'll make really smart and positive decisions with that extra money. grigorio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But his pace alone will definitely help mitigate that PSG explosive counterattack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Bayern Munich's game plan today was to conserve energy for the final and just do enough to get the win, nothing more. If it wasn't for Lyon's lack of finishing, this strategy could have backfired for Bayern. dyslexic nam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strait Red Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Davies head to head with Kylian Mbappe will be interesting. Davies may not push forward as much with Mbappe’s speed. Hope it’s a great game. baulderdash77, cronaldo7, dyslexic nam and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'll keep PSG honest, might even force Mbappe into a more defensive role (unlikely). What a year for our lad! And to think he is only going to get smarter, more technically proficient and, believe it or not, faster. (Sprinters do not hit their prime until their later 20s, usually.)

Acid-Tone Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 I love Phonzie's quote about asking having asked Messi for his jersey after the QF game! "I asked for it, but I think he was a lil' bit upset though, so it's OK, next time hopefully!" 😂 If Messi wasn't so upset, he might've been the one asking for the swap! dyslexic nam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very reminscent of hockey player interview with a towel around his neck after a period as he is skating off the ice to the dressing room. He probably has been, but on the other hand, you don't hear "Messi didn't take my jersey" from too many hockey players. Maybe Alexander Mogilny might have said that, or Al Iafrate, but that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but he'd be getting more praise for his efforts today if Perisic had finished the chance that Davies served up on a platter for him with a great through ball.

Kent Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 So if he plays, he will be the first Canadian international to play in the final. Unfortunately not the first Canadian citizen, I had to double check that cause I don’t tend to remember accomplishments of that other Bayern Munich player.

LeoH037 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 man.. a bit over 2 year ago Davies was still playing in Vancouver and was likely watching Kylian Mbappe win the world cup with France during the summer... I can't for the life of me imagine it ever crossed his mind that 2 years later he would be squaring off against him for a UCL trophy... damn Red and White, The Beaver 2.0, TGAA_Star and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sticking to just the "Champions League" branded tournaments just to make my job more reasonable. In AFC Adam Hemati made an appearance in a final as well. Just starting to check CAF but I don't expect to find anything there and not likely in CONMEBOL either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatest Cockney Rip Off Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Apparently if Bayern win, Davies will the first ever teenage defender to win the European Cup / Campions League. Wow. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow. Is that first teenage defender that played in (and won) the final? There would have to be teenage defenders on the books of past champions, just not making some sort of contribution to the win. I am curious what that contribution is. First to get a winners medal? How much does someone need to play to get one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
