Arda Güler’s resurgence at Real Madrid continues to capture headlines as the young Turkish midfielder delivers another impressive performance under Xabi Alonso. After spending much of last season on the bench, Güler has flourished since Alonso’s arrival, becoming a vital part of Madrid’s midfield rotation.
The 20-year-old was instrumental once again last night as Real Madrid secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Juventus at the Santiago Bernabéu, with Güler earning the Man of the Match award for his composed display and control of the game’s tempo.
According to top journalist Fabrizio Romano via his official X handle, Güler spoke about his growing confidence and how Xabi Alonso’s trust has transformed his game. Romano posted;
Arda Güler: “This season I feel really important in this team, thanks to coach Xabi who believed in me.
Softfootball earlier reported that Güler had previously stated his partnership with Kylian Mbappé feels natural, noting that their skillsets were “made for each other.” The pair have indeed formed a dangerous attacking duo — combining for over 10 goals and assists this season — making them one of the most exciting tandems in La Liga.
Güler’s development under Alonso has been one of Madrid’s biggest success stories this season, and if his current trajectory continues, the Turkish starlet could soon establish himself as one of the best young midfielders in Europe.
