Real Madrid achieved a convincing 4-1 victory over Elches at the Santiago Bernabeu, while the main protagonist of the evening was Arda Guler.
The Turkish midfielder scored a spectacular goal from almost 70 metres, a moment that electrified the fans at the Bernabeu and sealed his brilliant performance.
Speaking to Real Madrid TV after the match, Guler did not hide his happiness over the extraordinary achievement.
“I’m very happy, it was a great goal. I saw the goalkeeper who wasn’t well positioned, I tried and what a goal!”, he said.
Reflecting on the team’s performance, the 19-year-old also highlighted the role of the young players in this victory.
“With the support of the young players, we managed to play a good match and secure a clean victory,” said Guler.
He also mentioned the team’s fatigue after the last match against Manchester City, but stressed that the team’s mentality remains strong and that the focus is now on the next challenges.
“Yes, we have to go out and attack from the start and that way we can score more goals,” he concluded.
Guler’s contribution not only sealed Real Madrid’s victory, but also demonstrated the growing importance of Turkish talent in the Madrid squad.
