Alphonso Davies will ‘take care’ of Lionel Messi, says Bayern chief

Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has had plenty to say ahead of the Champions League quarter-final between Barcelona and Bayern Munich and shows no sign of stopping.

“Alphonso had a great season and was rightly voted Rookie of the Season,” he said.

“Should Messi play on his left side, Alphonso will take care of him. It will be a difficult but interesting task.
