Alphonso Davies is feeling on top of the world, and not just because he’s now a UEFA Champions League winner with Bayern Munich.
Davies, the former Vancouver Whitecaps academy star, shared his excitement after being followed on Instagram by Drake. Excitement probably doesn’t cover it, so check out the full reaction below.
One’s a pop-culture icon and the others a burgeoning world soccer star, and they’re both from Canada. The rapper grew up in Toronto, while the left back traces his personal roots to Edmonton.
It’s also a moment that reminds everyone how Davies is just 19, and Drake’s music shaped part of his generation. So when there’s an all-caps moment amid the postgame celebrations, you can understand why.
As for the game itself, Davies played the full 90 minutes in Bayern’s 1-0 victory Sunday over Paris Saint-Germain in Lisbon, Portugal. He also has Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal titles from the 2019-20 season, contributing to a remarkable rise for the MLS product.
