The double confrontation of Real Madrid against Manchester City allowed certain players to prove that they have their place in what is considered the biggest club in the world. This is the case of Andriy Lunin, the Ukrainian goalkeeper, who started the season as Kepa’s understudy and was sparkling against the Skyblues. And if there is another man who scored points, it is Ferland Mendy, the French left back.
Arriving in Madrid in 2019, the former OL player had not yet achieved unanimous support and was often injured. So much so that Carlo Ancelotti did not hesitate to use Camavinga as a left back, just as the club repatriated Fran Garcia to make him a potential starter. The media and supporters have also often criticized him for being a little too tight on the offensive level. Against Manchester City, but also throughout the season, he has in any case shown that defensively, there are not many full-backs better than him currently.
Davies and Mendy in the same squad? Difficult…
As the Spanish press explains, like Relevo, the player’s performances push certain club leaders to review their plans. Is Alphonso Davies still considered a priority transfer? The Canadian is still popular, but on the Madrid side, we believe that Mendy clearly has his place in the project. By his level, but also by his attitude and his behavior internally, considered excellent. In the event that Davies were to arrive – Ancelotti wants to count on both – Mendy would not necessarily automatically be relegated to a substitute role.
For his part, Marca confirms that the Frenchman is now unanimous. But for the media, the season of the former OL could clearly change the situation for the future of Davies, and adds that it is difficult to imagine the two together in the squad. You will have to choose between one of the two. Everything will also depend on the price that will be set by Bayern for the Canadian. If it were to be too significant in the eyes of Madrid decision-makers, it would quickly be resolved…
