Arda Güler, from Ostracism to Ancelotti’s Savior in the Copa del Rey, Shocking Fact

The Turk played again against Real Sociedad and delivered a good performance, assisting Rüdiger in his goal

Real Madrid once again played an absolutely crazy match against Real Sociedad at Santiago Bernabéu (4-4) and, despite not winning, Carlo Ancelotti’s team is already in the Copa del Rey final. Madrid had won the first leg of the ‘semis’ with a solitary goal by Endrick.

Arda Güler also had minutes, coming on in the second half of extra time and revolutionizing the match with his flair.  In fact, the Turkish footballer took the corner kick that, five minutes before the end of extra time, Antonio Rüdiger headed in to seal the pass to the final at La Cartuja on April 26.

Güler’s performance, with three assists in a quarter of an hour, confirms that we are witnessing one of the most significant young talents on the European scene. He was already shining before signing with Madrid, in Türkiye, and he will continue to do so if he gets opportunities.

Güler has accumulated just over 1,100 minutes this season and, despite not having the presence he wanted after a remarkable previous campaign, with an outstanding final stretch, he will continue working to keep breaking down barriers.

Absolute Confidence

With a contract until 2029, those in the upper echelons of Bernabéu are aware of Güler’s great potential and will not part with him easily. He is the main attraction for Madrid fans, alongside the goal scorer Endrick.

With unparalleled class and a sublime left foot, Güler has the ability to break games open by playing between the lines  and with a final pass that, at times, is reminiscent of José María Gutiérrez Guti himself.

It is true that the high competition Madrid has in the midfield has made it difficult for Güler to have a greater presence during this time. Although he is always a complementary footballer, whether with Jude Bellingham, Fede Valverde, or Brahim Díaz himself.
