However, Arda Güler's substitution drew the ire of the fans. A Real Madrid fan shared on social media, "They are taking him out because he is the least likely to complain or cause a problem. But there were 3-4 players on the field who played worse than him."
"NO ONE DOES THIS MORE THAN HIM"
Another fan account close to Real Madrid, Madrid Universal, stated, "Arda Güler created 3 clear goal chances against Villarreal. There is no other player who has done this more than him."
SPORT: "HIS PRESENCE IS VERY IMPORTANT IN A TEAM"
Arda Güler's striking performance also received extensive coverage in the Spanish press. In a report by Sport, it was stated, "His presence is very important in a team lacking creative midfielders. All quality plays in the midfield start from his left foot. Nevertheless, he often disappears. Despite his inconsistency, he should always be in the starting 11 for Real Madrid due to the vision he brings to the game."
MUNDO DEPORTIVO: "HE BECAME A THREATENING NAME"
Mundo Deportivo commented on Arda Güler, stating, "The Turkish player became a threatening name in the penalty area with his crosses in the first half."
