It's one and done on Friday when Bayern Munich takes on Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals. The biggest story of this matchup, however, is Canadian superstar Alphonso Davies facing off against legend Lionel Messi.
At just 19 (he doesn't turn 20 until November), Davies has torched the competition in the Bundesliga. The 2019-20 Rookie of the Season, Davies made 29 appearances (24 starts) and netted three goals and five assists in league play. Known for his speed, the teenager set a record for top speed by a Bundesliga player (since tracking technology was introduced in 2014) in the club's title-clinching victory over Werder Bremen.
He has also collected three assists in five Champions League appearances. Now, he will face Messi, his boyhood idol and a six-time Ballon d'Or winner.

"Alphonso had a great season and was rightly voted Rookie of the Season," Bayern Munich CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge told Sky Sports Germany "Should Messi play on his left side, Alphonso will take care of him. It will be a difficult but interesting task. Davies hasn't been dribbled past or overrun much this season."
