Rodrygo: I had to choose between Real Madrid and Barcelona

Real Madrid midfielder Rodrygo Goes has revealed he could've joined Barcelona.

Rodrygo left Santos for Real Madrid in 2019.

He said, "My father told me the news. I always tell the story that I had two shirts, one for Barcelona and one for Madrid, and that I had to choose.

"It was easy for me to choose, but since everything was already agreed with Barcelona It was a surprise, because I didn't expect Madrid to come.

"It was a scare at first, but then one of the happiest moments of my life."

On Real coach Carlo Ancelotti, Rodrygo also said: "My relationship with Ancelotti is very good. I've seen talk of Brazil, but they've denied it. If he goes to the national team I would be happy, I would love it, although there has never been a foreign coach, I don't know what will happen."
