Alphonso Davies, FC Bayern capture fifth title in 2020

Alphonso Davies has won his fifth major trophy in 2020 as FC Bayern Munich captured the German DFL-Super Cup on Wednesday 30 September with a 3:2 victory over Borussia Dortmund. It marks the second major trophy for Davies and Bayern in less than a week after capturing the UEFA Super Cup with a 2:1 a.e.t. victory over Sevilla FC just one week ago.

In the Wednesday win, Davies provided the decisive pass on the Thomas Müller 2-0 goal in the first half. After Borussia Dortmund equalised in the second half, Joshua Kimmich scored the game winner with less than 10 minutes to play.

It’s been an exceptional year for Davies, who was part of FC Bayern’s streaks of 23 consecutive wins (16 February to 24 September 2020) and 32 undefeated matches (11 December 2019 to 24 September 2020), which included the 2019-20 Bundesliga title through 27 June, the DFB-Pokal on 4 July, the UEFA Champions League title on 23 August, and UEFA Super Cup title on 24 September (Davies featured in 30 of those 32 matches).

Davies was also FC Bayern’s Player of the Month in May, the Bundesliga Rookie of the Month in May, and the 2019-20 Bundesliga Rookie of the Season. He has also won Canada Soccer’s Player of the Month award three times this year.
