Alphonso Davies: From Refugee to Champions League Winner

[@copa90football]

Apologies, we messed up 🤦‍♂️ His parents were fleeing Liberia not Libya, thanks to the people that pointed that out!

[@Delboy0]

Another top player who qualifies to play for Ghana playing for another national team. Add Davies to Balotelli, Welbeck, Depay, Jerome Boateng, Bellarab, Ethan Ampadu, Inaki Williams, Hudson-Odoye and Georginio Wijnaldum. That would be a world class team

[@nickykoh8042]

I believe his family was fleeing from Liberia not Libya

[@scotthiggins1700]

Was there for his vancouver whitecaps debut. You could see his talent and always knew he was going to be a star. My hometown hero and he’s always vancouvers boy

[@spore67]

[@craveleaks8102]

Yes, it is Liberia.

[@FuSoFo]

Already an icon for young Canadian players

[@anilsire2041]

That will be Atiba Hutchinson*

[@darrell2998]

He’s my idol forsure he’s bigger then atiba he’s going to be the most talked about player in Canada for years to come I knew he was gonna make it I watched every whitecap game of him just because I know I was watching one of the best In the world he broke that Bayern starting 11 in quick time just one year integrate him it’s pretty amazing and we got J.David our goal scorer

[@AxG17]

hes already been an icon in vancouver since his debut and all over canada since his performances in the gold cup in 2016

[@cariopuppetmaster]

We don't appreciate his boring ball playing

Will Alphonso Davies become one of the best full-backs in the world?

[@zachschubert1464]

COPA90 Football no, greatest of all time

[@Abiodun92]

You might want to make a correction, his parents came to Ghana from Liberia, not Libya.

[@andredias3011]

Starting full back in a team who's about to go to the UCL quarter finals how is he not already one of the best

[@kayhighes3749]

André Dias part form that he is starter to probably one of the best teams this season

[@bxnjx1812]

He already is

[@rascal1717]

He’s doing amazing at LB but I know he would rather play up on the wing. Someday no doubt! Regardless it’s just crazy to see him play and have success with Bayern already, and as a Canadian I couldn’t be more proud to have a humble, grounded guy like him represent us on one of the biggest stages in the world!

[@alejandroguerrero5189]

Absolutely agree!!.. couldn't ring closer to home! 😉

[@davidajagbe8849]

COPA90 Football me of course 😂

[@NoPainNoKane]

He is going to be some talent. Such humble beginnings, tough start but keeps improving for his team.

[@jacoblunn29]

I remember when he got the move to Bayern from Vancouver, so many MLS fans doubted him, saying he'll be a flop and a Freddy Adu 2.0. But us whitecaps fans knew what a special talent he was

[@Wollestar]

I have seen him at the DFB Pokal game vs Hoffenheim this year live in the stadium. I had 3 guys from the US with me, whatching football for the first time in a stadium and also for them it was the first complete game they ever whatched. They didn't know much about the sport but all of us, including me, couldn't take our eyes off of him. There where players like Lewandowski, Müller, Gnabry and Neuer on the pitch, but this young guy just caught our attention all the time. Now, all I can hope for, is that he never gets a bigger injury. If he stays healthy, he will be one of the greats. I have no doubt in his motivation and I am very sure, that he will stay a humble guy.

[@WAVO293]

Now do Jonathan David 👌

I first saw him against Chelsea. He's got a bright future!!

[@matthewwozniak5397]

Not just the kid from Canada. The kid from Edmonton, who know a name bigger than Connor McDavid would come out of this city (biggest hockey player atm) I'm from the same city as Alphonso & he's been a beacon for so many kids that it is possible to become a pro footballer & develop your talents here. Canada imo has so many hidden gems just waiting to be unearthed.
