Arda Guler dropped another masterful performance for Real Madrid, because even though he did not start for the Merengues in their 4-0 blowout win over Malaga, he still more than made his presence felt, scoring a goal late in the game to fully put an exclamation mark on a second straight blowout victory for Madrid under Jose Mourinho.
During that goal, Guler did something he often did not do last season, which was much to the frustration of the Madridistas. Instead of pulling the trigger on a pass to his close friend and top scorer Kylian Mbappe, who was clearly shaping up for the pass that usual comes from the young Turkish international, Guler went for goal himself and got the striker to his own credit.
Guler is a great technician who led all Champions League players in chances created last season, and he was so close to double digit assists in the league, too. If he is. that quality of a player as a No. 10 to generate that many assists and key passes, then he is clearly a great technician as a shooter who can also score goals, and we have seen that prowess, too, when he does go for goal, such as last season when he was regularly scoring or coming close to scoring from half the field.
Arda Guler is ready to be more cutthroat
Real Madrid fans want to see a more bold and confident Arda Guler in the 2026/27 La Liga season as he takes that next step towards being a true superstar player at the Santiago Bernabeu under Jose Mourinho, who is pretty much the perfect coach for a hard working player like Guler to find his full confidence under.
After two brilliant performances as a playmaker with 12 combined key passes against Espanyol and Real Sociedad, Real Madrid fans saw their first glimpse of a killer Guler in front of goal during the 4-0 win over Malaga.
He only needed about six or seven minutes to deliver the goods in any case, and that really shows you how efficient Guler can be. When he and Kylian Mbappe are on the break, it is good to pass it to the two time Pichichi winner and all time World Cup leading scorer, yes, but it is actually better for Guler to shoot if he is the one with the best shot. Too often, Guler did not pull the trigger last season, but already in this campaign, Guler looks to be turning a new leaf.
