Bayern Munich star Alphonso Davies recorded a career first after helping the club win the Uefa Champions League.
The German giants sealed a sixth Champions League title on Sunday following a 1-0 win over PSG in Lisbon.
While the Bayern team has many stars, Davies was one of the most consistent in the course of the season.
In winning Europe’s premier club football competition, the 19-year-old has become the first Canadian male footballer to win the Champions League.

He grew up in Edmonton Alberta, where he started his football career and, therefore, committed his international future to Canada.
