JAKARTA - Canadian player Alphonse Davies has finally been able to fulfill his dream after three years of waiting. The Bayern Munich midfielder now has a Lionel Messi jersey in Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) uniform.

Three years ago Davies had invited Messi to exchange jerseys. At that time La Pulga was still in Barcelona uniform. But Davies' invitation at that time failed to take place because Messi refused.

The refusal was suspected to have been due to Barcelona's 2-8 defeat to Munich. With this striking score, it clearly makes Messi not in the best mood to exchange uniforms.

Now when Davies again had the opportunity to meet Messi during the Munich match against PSG, he again expressed his wish. Although PSG lost 0-1 this match, Messi was willing to accept Davies' invitation to exchange jerseys.

Davies admits that he did grow up as a footballer by seeing Messi as an idol. He always supports Messi as a teenager every time he sees the Argentine player's action in the Champions League.

When he got a chance on the pitch with Messi, Davies didn't believe it. But he realized it was a very fun thing.

"To be honest we don't trust him. Because they know that I grew up seeing (Lionel) Messi when he was young and now I can fight against him. It's really a fun thing," Davies was quoted as saying by Sport Bible on Wednesday, February 15.
