Xabi Alonso explains why he left Arda Güler on the bench!

Real Madrid defeated Athletic Bilbao 3-0 away in LaLiga's 19th week match. Kylian Mbappe (2) and Camavinga scored the goals that secured victory for Los Blancos. Arda Güler started the match on the bench for the Spanish giants. The Turkish footballer came on in the 69th minute to replace Camavinga.

Xabi Alonso answered the question about Arda Güler

The recent performance of Fenerbahçe's former star has been a topic of debate. Especially after Jude Bellingham's return, Arda's playing further back in midfield has reduced the 20-year-old footballer's performance. Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso answered questions about Arda Güler after the match. Turkish football fans eagerly awaited the Spanish coach's response.

'Arda can play harmoniously alongside Bellingham'

Alonso commented on the matter, stating, "Is Arda on the bench? We have many matches ahead of us; today it was merely a tactical decision for this match, it signifies nothing." Alonso was also asked whether Arda could play harmoniously alongside Bellingham. Alonso responded, "Arda has played three consecutive matches, Camavinga started in the first 11 today. We have a lot of matches and we play every three days. Of course, Arda can play in harmony with Bellingham at the same time."
