Despite the fact that Arda Guler’s debut season at Real Madrid may have been relatively uneventful, the 19-year-old helped take Los Blancos a step closer to another La Liga title on Friday.
Arda Güler scored the winning goal in the first half of Real Sociedad’s 1-0 triumph over the Spanish club. It was his second goal for the Spanish club.
Following his move from Fenerbahce to Madrid in the summer of 2023, the youngster had to wait until Friday to make his La Liga debut for the club, who have won the Spanish championship 35 times.
Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti opted to rest key players for the game, well aware of the crucial Champions League game against Bayern Munich on Tuesday.
The decision was made to drop Real Madrid stars Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Júnior, and Antonio Rüdiger to the bench to ensure they were as fresh as possible for the semi-final match in midweek.
In light of the changes, it was not surprising that Real Madrid did not perform at their best. However, one of the characteristics of a champion is the ability to triumph despite challenges, and Real Madrid has managed to achieve this feat while maintaining a perfect record away from their home stadium.
He scored his second goal as a Madridista.
The feeling of scoring is one of the best feelings in the world, and this club is the best in the world. Being here and scoring is a source of great joy for me. I would like to express my gratitude to everyone, said Arda Güler.

What his body looked like
I focus not only on the physical side but also work on the mental side. Although I put in a lot of effort every day, I also wait patiently. On a mental level, I am focused on further progress.
Champions
Real Madrid has always been a team that deserves to win the Champions League. I really hope we can get a successful result in Munich and then play at home with an advantage.
