Alphonso Davies snubbed Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappe and picked former Barcelona attacker Neymar Jr in a "Who's The Goat" challenge on TSN's Youtube channel.
TSN conducted the fun session on their YouTube channel with the Canada national team, and Davies participated in the challenge, making some interesting choices. He swiftly chose Neymar over Kylian Mbappe as he turned over the former PSG star's card during the game.
"Neymar or Kylian? I'd take Neymar," Davies said.
Davies' choice comes amid reports that Real Madrid are interested in signing him. Los Blancos have been reportedly eyeing the player for a while now.
Apart from choosing Neymar over Kylian Mbappe, he also chose ex-Barcelona legend Ronaldinho over Los Blancos veteran Zinedine Zidane in the same challenge. The defender also picked Lionel Messi over Cristiano Ronaldo despite agreeing to both player's greatness and irreplacibility in football.
Kylian Mbappe shares heartfelt message for Madridistas after being unveiled as new Real Madrid player
Kylian Mbappe's transfer to Real Madrid has been one of the most hyped and awaited transfers in football. The Spanish giants were reportedly targeting the player over the last two years while Mbappe also dreamt of joining the club since his childhood, as he mentioned multiple times in various interviews.
The Frenchman was formally introduced as the new Los Blancos signing on July 16 at the Santiago Bernabeu in front of 85,000 fans. Shortly after his presentation, Kylian Mbappe gave a heartfelt message to Madridistas on his social media platforms.
"Madridistas, Today was an unforgettable day for me and my family. I realize my childhood dream. Lots of emotions!!!!! Thank you for the affection and love for many years. Very happy and proud to be part of the big family. I want to start playing for the best club in the world. GO MADRID! " Mbappe wrote.
During his presentation, Kylian confirmed that he had multiple other offers but did not consider any. He knew that he would only end up at the Bernabeu when he leaves Paris Saint-Germain.
"I had other offers, but I always told them NO. I was very confident that this moment would happen. Real Madrid was my only option. I made a promise to return at Real Madrid, now I'm here," Mbappe said. (via Fabrizio Romano)
According to journalist Mario Cortegana, Mbappe will not travel with the Spanish giants for their pre-season tour to the United States. His first game as a Los Blancos player could be the UEFA Super Cup game against Atalanta.
