The Two Women in Arda Güler’s Life Were in Madrid and Saw His Goal

Real Madrid had a key match this past Wednesday against Getafe at the Coliseum. After Barcelona’s win over Mallorca, earning 3 points was essential to stay in the La Liga title race. But with the Copa del Rey final coming up this Saturday, Ancelotti was forced to rotate players.

Carletto used heavy rotation in his starting lineup, with Arda Güler being one of the standout additions. And it was a very special match for him, as in the stands were two of the most important women in his life: his girlfriend and his sister, both present among the fans.

Without a doubt, it was very special support for him in a match that seemed almost destined. Güler scored Real Madrid’s goal in the first half with a rocket from the edge of the box — a goal that earned the team 3 crucial points, on a day when Arda had very special backing.

But Güler didn’t just score the winning goal — he also had an excellent match overall. He was named MVP, as he was very active between the lines, always looking to provide solutions to his teammates. A great performance that earned him widespread praise after the final whistle.

Few minutes, but he knew how to seize his opportunity

Ancelotti has given Güler very few minutes this season, which has sparked a lot of speculation. This was supposed to be the season where he would take a big step forward, but that hasn’t quite happened. His lack of playing time has raised questions about his future.

But Arda knows he must make the most of every chance he gets if he wants to earn a regular place in the rotation. The Getafe match was a perfect example of that. His performance on the pitch impressed many — now we’ll see if it earns him more minutes going forward.

Ancelotti finds him a new spot in the lineup

It seems Ancelotti is still searching for Güler’s best position, and he keeps moving him further away from the opponent’s box. Against Getafe, he played more like a midfielder, helping in the build-up of play. It might be the role where his strengths shine most, though he still has areas to improve.

In the post-match press conference, Carletto said: “He played as an interior midfielder, with a lot of ideas and composure in his contribution.” He praised the performance Güler gave in that role and even suggested it could be where we see him most often from now on.

Ancelotti added: “He lacks a bit of strength in duels, but he has a lot of quality. Not just for the goal, but also for how he managed the game. I believe his future is more in that advanced position. Playing him as a pivot now is crazy, but in the future… we’ll see.”
