Clásico: Is Arda Güler the new Real Madrid star?

Arda Güler has emerged as one of the biggest revelations at Madrid this season. The young Turkish midfielder, long regarded as a talent waiting to burst onto the scene, is now establishing himself as an indispensable starter under Xabi Alonso.

Last season, despite making 43 appearances, his playing time remained limited. Several clubs hoped to lure him away on loan this summer. But Güler chose to stay, convinced that Xabi Alonso would take his game to the next level. That gamble has paid off in full.

With 3 goals and 5 assists in 12 matches, Güler is dazzling with his creativity and his partnership with Kylian Mbappé. At just 20 years old, he’s become one of the most applauded players at the Santiago Bernabéu—a recent standing ovation against Juventus is proof of that. For this Sunday’s Clásico against Barcelona, Arda Güler could well be the star of the show.
