Alphonso Davies Was So Good Last Night That Even Drake Was Left Stunned

Everyone is well-versed in Alphonso Davies’ game-changing pace and ability to dice any defender on the planet off the dribble, but it’s his increasing effectiveness in the final third that makes the 20-year-old standout as one of football’s brightest talents.

At the tender age of 17 Davies was already one of Major League Soccer’s most devastating players in attack, scoring eight goals and providing 10 assists in 31 games to help facilitate his $11 million move to Bayern. (He’s now valued at $155 million.)

La rivalidad entre la Liga MX y la MLS es un negocio lucrativo que no se satisface solo con el duopolio que han establecido ambas ligas en la Liga de Campeones de la Concacaf ni con un Juego de Estrellas. No, señores, no. Por lo mismo, hoy autoridades de ambas competencias anunciaron una expansión de la Leagues Cup a partir de 2023.

Expansión, por cierto, es una palabra modesta considerando que la idea del nuevo torneo es incluir a todos los clubes que son parte de la Liga MX y todos los que componen la MLS.
