Carlo Ancelotti was taken aback when he saw what Arda, whom he hadn't played for months, had done.

In the 14th week of La Liga, Real Madrid moved one step closer to the top by defeating Leganes 3-0 in a week where leaders Barcelona dropped points. With one match in hand, the purple-white team raised their points to 30, reducing the gap to 4.

ARDA SHINED IN THE MATCH

Arda Güler, who stayed on the field for 75 minutes, received full marks from the authorities with his effective performance. The national star touched the ball 60 times and played with a 93% passing accuracy. The young player, who provided 2 key passes, assisted Valverde's goal and finished the match with a 0.42 expected goals. The 19-year-old footballer also contributed to a goal for the first time this season.

COULDN'T STOP PRAISING

After 90 minutes, Ancelotti had words of praise for Arda Güler. The Italian coach said, "Arda played very well today and contributed greatly to the team. His creativity was very beneficial for us. He was close to scoring. He is one of the players we can rely on."
