Advice on bike size

Hi! I havent even started cycling yet, but im looking to buy my first ride. So far I went to Decathlon and tried the Triban rc120 in a size L . Im 185cm so I figured I fall into the L size according to the chart in the store. Then a sales guy came up and told me that L is too small for me, cause of various reasons. I did feel like the handlebars are narrower than my shoulders so it was a bit weird. He told me to go for an XL (which they didn't have, so I couldnt try it). What do you guys think?

PS: thanks for your time.
