Real Madrid and Liverpool duo have just become the most unexpected enemies of 2025.
Arda Güler and Dominik Szoboszlai’s Unexpected Rivalry Takes Center Stage in 2025
In a surprising turn of events, Real Madrid’s Arda Güler and Liverpool’s Dominik Szoboszlai have sparked one of the most random rivalries of 2025.
As WWE fans dive into the Wrestlemania season filled with dramatic rivalries and smack talk, football fans are witnessing a similar spectacle off the pitch. Real Madrid fans, in particular, have enjoyed seeing their own player showcase some serious fighting spirit online.
The international break has provided some entertainment, especially for Real Madrid supporters. While the break is nearing its end, it hasn’t been as uneventful as usual. The spotlight has been on a number of Real Madrid players, including Kylian Mbappé and Luka Modrić, who faced off in an exciting international clash.
However, it’s Arda Güler, the 20-year-old Turkish talent, who has been making headlines. Güler, a rising star at Real Madrid, is often overshadowed by the club’s wealth of talent, but he shines brightest when playing for his national team.
The rivalry with Szoboszlai began during the UEFA Nations League qualifier between Hungary and Turkey, where tensions rose between the two players on the field. After the match, Szoboszlai took to social media, posting “1088,” a reference to the number of minutes Güler has played this season—essentially mocking his lack of game time at Real Madrid.
While Szoboszlai’s comment seemed bitter, Güler took it in stride and responded with his usual fiery attitude. On social media, Güler called Szoboszlai a “joke” and pointed out that his six goals were enough to silence the naysayers. He even posted a picture with the “shush” gesture and added a cheeky comment under Hungary’s scoreboard.
Güler’s fiery personality is undeniable, and while some may view this as a flaw, it’s worth noting that many of Real Madrid’s greatest players, including Cristiano Ronaldo, Zinedine Zidane, and Sergio Ramos, all had a similarly short fuse and were known for standing their ground when provoked.
