Ferdinand left astounded by Alphonso Davies' stunning assist for Kimmich goal

Rio Ferdinand has heaped praise on Alphonso Davies after the Bayern Munich teenager as the Germans ran riot in an 8-2 obliteration of Barcelona in the Champions League.

Davies was sensational on the left hand side and played a role in setting up Joshua Kimmich as Bayern compiled more misery on the LaLiga giants in Lisbon.

The Canadian picked up the ball just past the halfway line, beat a couple of markers and then found himself in a one-on-one position against Barca full back Nelson Semedo.

A couple of feints and intricate footwork was enough to bamboozle the Portuguese defender, and Davies coasted pass and picked out Kimmich who slotted home with ease.

And Ferdinand has lauded the youngster's display in what was an incredibly impressive performance from the Bundesliga champions.

'It's uncalled for what he’s just done there - it shouldn’t be allowed,' he said on BT Sport. 'It’s embarrassing, if I’m Semedo I’d come off Instagram for a little while.

'He's the best attacking full-back on the planet at the minute. He was amazing today. That’s full-back setting up full-back to score - it’s expansive open football.'
