Gonçalo Guedes troubles Real Madrid, ex-Benfica star shines | OneFootball

Gonçalo Guedes causes concern for Real Madrid before the match against Real Sociedad. The Portuguese forward has been one of the most influential figures of the Basque team, gaining significant prominence in the recent performances of the Basque team in the Spanish La Liga and the Copa del Rey, which gives headaches to the Merengues.

The concern in the Spanish capital mainly comes from the fact that the former Benfica player is in great form. The main question is the choice of the right-back who will have the task of stopping the Portuguese winger. Álvaro Arbeloa has not yet made a definitive decision.

In the last match, the choice was David Jiménez, while Trent Alexander-Arnold, returning from injury, started on the bench. Another option in the squad is Daniel Carvajal, although the defender is not entirely satisfied with his current role. The player expected to have been an option in a recent game but ended up being only the third choice.

It should be noted that the 29-year-old Portuguese international strengthened the Basque team in the summer, transferred from the English side Wolverhampton for around 4 million euros and has been a regular starter in the team now managed by the American coach Pellegrino Matarazzo.

This season, wearing the Real Sociedad jersey, Gonçalo Guedes – valued at 6 million euros – played 28 games: 23 in La Liga and five in the Copa del Rey. In the 1,607 minutes he was on the field, the forward scored seven goals and made seven assists.
