The soccer world is well aware of Alphonso Davies’ ardent admiration for Lionel Messi. The Canadian has considered the Argentine superstar his idol ever since his childhood. Subsequently, it was his most cherished dream to swap jerseys with the soccer legend, and it came true when the two clashed against each other back in February. Now, after watching what he did with Messi’s signed jersey, the soccer fans are amazed.

The Bayern Munich star’s admiration for Messi goes beyond mere fandom. Davies has spoken candidly about how his work ethic has inspired him on and off the field. Now let’s find out how he once again proved his love for the soccer legend.

Alphonso Davies proves his love for Lionel Messi

In February, Messi played against Davies’ Bayern for PSG in the Champions League. At the end of the game, fans spotted the surging star and Messi swapping jerseys after Davies’ team achieved a 1-0 win. Recently, the 23-year-old took the internet by storm as he framed Messi’s signed jersey and posted it on his Instagram story.

The jersey indeed holds a special place in the Canadian’s heart, as he got it after a failed attempt. In their 2020 Champions League clash, the young star attempted to swap the Argentine’s jersey after Bayern’s 8-2 victory against Barcelona. However, Lionel Messi was not ready to do so, as he was disheartened after suffering a heartbreaking loss.

Interestingly, the recent post by the Canadian found its way to X, and the fans would not resist reacting to it. Now let’s learn what the fans said about Davies’ admiration for Messi.

Fans react to the image of the framed jersey

The soccer world is often divided into two factions, where one side claims that Cristiano Ronaldo is the GOAT while the other believes that the position goes to Messi. After seeing Davies admiring the latter, a fan stated that the Canadian knows the real GOAT.

Another fan appreciated Davies for not hiding his love for Lionel Messi. He was thrilled to discover that another soccer player greatly admired the Argentine superstar.

Similar to the previous fan, this fan too was full of praise for the Canadian for choosing the greatest player as his idol.

Interestingly, one fan was disappointed that Davies received Messi’s PSG jersey. The soccer legend left the French team on bad terms. Messi decided to leave the team after they suspended him for two weeks after missing training.

Another fan, too, had the same thought as the previous fan. He believed that PSG lacked good management, which is why Lionel Messi left.

So sad he didn't get Barcelona or Argentina shirt it had to be that tinpot club jersey

An X user commented that Canadians love Messi, keeping in mind that Davies is a Canadian.

A fan mentioned that Davies will deny being a Lionel Messi fan once he joins Real Madrid, the former club of Ronaldo. Interestingly, the left-back has already received a whopping $51 million offer from the club.

He will soon get to Real Madrid and deny all these ever happened. The hate for Messi in Madrid is crazy

From the reactions of the fans, it is evident that they are elated to have a Lionel Messi fan in Davies. However, they wish it remained unchanged even if he joined Real Madrid.
