Alphonso Davies has arrived on the global stage.

The 19-year-old Canadian soccer star just wowed fans from around the world setting up a world-class goal in the Champions League quarter-final.

The former Vancouver Whitecaps midfielder who now stars as a left back for Bayern Munich in Germany, Davies’ assist on Bayern’s fifth goal was truly amazing.

Davies danced past two FC Barcelona players before blowing by a defender and setting up a teammate for Bayern’s fifth goal of the match. I repeat, he did this against FC Barcelona, one of the best teams on the planet.

Bayern won the match 8-2 and will play in the Champions League semi-final on August 19.

It’s been a superb season for Davies, who has taken his game to another level. A key player on Bayern’s Bundesliga championship squad, Davies is now widely considered one of the best left backs in the entire world.

Not only did Davies star on the world stage, he did so playing against one of his idols, Lionel Messi.

This is a dream come true for Davies, who said in 2018 he was most looking forward to playing in Champions League matches prior to making the move to Europe.

ā€œAt a very young age, every time you hear that [Champions League] song come on, you know something special is about to happen,” Davies told Daily Hive two years ago.

ā€œWhoever made the Champions League is a brilliant guyā€¦ Having the top teams from Spain, England, Germany ā€“ all over Europe ā€“ to play against each other, itā€™s exciting to watch.ā€

He just made it more exciting.
