ARDA GÜLER SHOOK SPAIN
After the match, the Spanish press praised Arda Güler with flattering comments. Here are the comments made about Arda...
"GÜLER CHANGED THE RULES OF THE GAME"
Marca: "The Turkish player entered the game in the second half and changed the course of the match. Real Madrid found a brave player in Güler; despite the boos, he wanted the ball and added rhythm and calmness to their game. Mbappé was the one who benefited the most from this and started to get into dangerous positions. This led to the penalty that resulted in the opening goal. He also provided the assist for the 2-0 goal from the corner. There is no one else like Güler who can lift the ball from a corner; it was a gift for anyone who showed courage for a header. Asencio, effective both with and without a mask, made the score 2-0."
"ARDA PUT OUT THE FIRE"
AS: "The Turkish player's entry into the game saved Real Madrid from their poor performance and the anger of their fans. A terrible first half filled with whistles and handkerchief waving turned into a good reaction in the second half. The Turkish player had a healing effect; he carried the team on his shoulders and turned around an afternoon heading towards disaster. Then the first goal came, and Madrid began to stumble. Among the saviors, besides Arda Güler, Asencio, who is becoming increasingly reliable, and Mastantuono, who has an energy level well above average, will also be included.
Arda Güler, who came to the match with skepticism, put an end to that unbearable situation. The Turkish player changed the team's rhythm, speed, and even morale. He was the first player to pass to Mbappé, who was promising in the first half, shooting at the goal and resulting in disaster. The French player was brought down by Dela while trying to advance towards the penalty area with the pass he received from the Turkish player. This resulted in Mbappé's 30th goal and the end of the overall tension.
The goal had an immediate calming effect. After that, Madrid made their apologies seem sincere and began to dominate the match almost as they wished. Güler, always ready, skillfully took the corner, and Asencio scored with a powerful header, sealing the victory. The fans declared the end of the protest."
"THEY PLAYED BETTER THANKS TO HIM"
Mundo Deportivo: "The Turkish player entered the game after halftime and brought a new breath to both the match and Real Madrid. During the time he was on the field, Real Madrid players played much better."
"ARDA REVITALIZED THE GAME"
El Mundo: "Arda Güler revitalized the game. He was the best on the field in the second half. He took the first shot on goal for Los Blancos in the afternoon and assisted Mbappé in the penalty situation, which was a key moment in the match. The French player received the ball from the Turkish player, faced De la Fuente, and was brought down inside the penalty area. After the penalty, the club relaxed."
