Bayern Munich fullback picks Barcelona winger as the toughest opponent he has faced

Bayern Munich defender Alphonso Davies named Barcelona winger Ousmane Dembele as the toughest opponent he has faced in the UEFA Champions League on the Twitch stream IShowSpeed.

Bayern Munich and Barcelona met twice this season in the UEFA Champions League group stages, with the Bavarian giants winning both times with 5-0 aggregate scores.

Barcelona lost 2-0 in the first match at the Allianz Arena, but they fought hard against the German champions, with Dembele in particular causing a lot of problems for Davies out on the flanks.

In fact, the Frenchman was brought down inside the box by Bayern’s left-back, and what appeared to be a clear penalty was not awarded to Barcelona.

Now, speaking about his most difficult opponent in the Champions League, Davies chose Dembele, saying:

“Dembele. The guy is fast. I did my best and held my ground though.”

The 25-year-old Frenchman has had an outstanding season, emerging as one of Xavi’s most important players.

However, he has been out with an injury since late January.

While he was supposed to be back by now, his recovery has taken longer than expected.

According to recent reports, Dembele may even miss the Copa del Rey Clasico semi-final next month.

Barcelona will be hoping that the forward returns to action as soon as possible, as they appear to have missed the spark that he brings to the pitch in his absence.
