The Real Madrid prodigy starred in the Copa del Rey victory while ill

Arda Guler put in a solid performance for Real Madrid in their Copa del Rey clash against Deportiva Minera, despite not being in the best physical condition.

Actually according to Guillermo Raythe young striker played the entire game while battling a fever, showing his determination and commitment to the team.

Guler was the outstanding player of the night, scored two goals and played the full 90 minutes.

His enthusiasm was evident even before the match when he took part in warm-up drills with Eduardo Camavinga, practicing his passing, control and shooting.

This was despite having missed training earlier due to flu-like symptoms. Nevertheless, the Turk looked confident and poised, which he translated into a stellar performance on the pitch.

Guler was amazing

During the match, Guler demonstrated his exceptional skills with six shots, 95 touches, five key passes and the creation of three significant chances.

He also contributed defensively, winning seven tackles and completing two successful tackles.

His positioning and composure shone through, especially with his second goal, where he showed the instincts of a top striker to find the back of the net just before the final whistle.

However, it was his first goal in the 28th minute that really stole the show. Guler took on several defenders and unleashed a powerful shot from outside the box, cementing his status as the match’s best player.

Real Madrid appreciate Guler

Real Madrid’s coaching staff have long praised the forward’s efficiency in front of goal, and the stats justify their confidence.

This season he has already recorded three goals and three assists in just 766 minutes, a marked improvement from the 442 minutes he played last season. In addition, the muscle injuries that previously plagued him have not reappeared.

Guler remains ambitious and is eager for more opportunities, but he also trusts the process under Carlo Ancelotti. This outstanding performance will no doubt strengthen his case for increased involvement in the team’s plans going forward.
