ARDA PULLED TO THE BENCH
Even after Bellingham’s return, Xabi Alonso initially continued to start Arda Güler in the lineup and only substituted him relatively early. However, following a series of consecutive point losses, Alonso made changes: in the 3-0 victory against Athletic Bilbao, he left Arda Güler on the bench.
“THE QUALITY OF A NO. 10”
Despite the win, Real Madrid fans who believe Arda should be in the starting XI flooded social media with messages of support. Some supporters even prepared a special banner for Arda at the club’s Valdebebas training ground. The banner read:
“The quality of a No. 10”,
“A very humble kid both on and off the pitch”,
“We love you Arda”,
“Keep going brother, the fans love you”.

“THERE’S NO ONE LIKE ARDA”
While all this was happening, Real Madrid legend Guti Hernandez made eye-catching comments about Arda Güler. Guti said: “Arda Güler? I see he’s performing well. He’s a different type of player from the others at Real Madrid. There are many players with the same profile—high quality and physically strong—but they can’t deliver the final pass.”
“XABI WILL TRUST HIM”
The former Beşiktaş player added: “He is the only player who can get into goal-scoring positions and finish, while also being able to dictate the tempo of the team. Xabi will trust him. It’s going to be a fantastic season for him.”
PERFORMANCE SO FAR
This season, 20-year-old Arda Güler has played 20 official matches for Real Madrid, scoring 3 goals and providing 7 assists. The young star’s current market value is listed at €60 million.
