Real Madrid's only consolation is Arda Güler! He surpassed Mbappe and Vinicius...

In the 12th week of Spain's La Liga, leaders Real Madrid faced Rayo Vallecano away. In a match where Real Madrid struggled significantly, the star players failed to deliver, and the purple-and-white team left the field with a 0-0 draw.

Real Madrid suffered a major shock at the end of the match, failing to score in a league game for the first time this season, while our national player Arda Güler was the standout name of the match. On a night when stars like Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior, and Jude Bellingham were absent from the pitch, Arda's efforts were the only ones that gave Real Madrid hope, but they weren't enough to secure the three points.

After the match, Arda Güler, who earned the highest match rating on the Real Madrid team, topped the charts in statistics such as ball touches, accurate passes, key passes, and shots. On the other hand, Arda earned the admiration of Real Madrid fans by achieving these statistics in a match where he played further back than the attacking line.

Arda finished the match with 5 key passes, creating an assist expectation of 0.30, but his teammates failed to capitalize on the opportunities he created, and Real Madrid suffered a surprise point loss. On the other hand, the star player played 90 minutes in a match for the second time this season and was not substituted.

According to reports in the Spanish press, following the draw against Rayo Vallecano after the Liverpool defeat, there has been no decline in Real Madrid's management's confidence in head coach Xabi Alonso, though the team's dip in form has been met with surprise.
