The Nations League is currently in full swing, with numerous Real Madrid players competing. Luka Modric for Croatia, Kylian Mbappe, Eduardo Camavinga, Aurelien Tchouameni for France, and Arda Guler for Turkey are among the notable names.
Croatia and France recently faced off in a vital encounter, with Luka Modric's team winning convincingly. In the second leg, France rebounded and won on penalties. On the other hand, Spain, where Los Blancos prospect Raul Asencio was just called up for his debut, narrowly defeated a dominant Netherlands team.
In the semi-finals, Antonio Rudiger's Germany will face Portugal, while France, driven by Mbappe, will face a vibrant Spanish team. During these knockout stages, a fierce exchange erupted between a Liverpool and Madrid player.
Dominik Szoboszlai taunts Arda Guler about his time at Real Madrid
Arda Guler, Real Madrid's latest signing and international phenomenon, faced up against Dominik Szoboszlai in a game between Hungary and Turkey, which the latter comfortably won by three goals. The two players have previously had heated exchanges, and this time Guler tried to hush the Hungarian star after scoring the second goal.
Following the emphatic victory, Szoboszlai resorted to social media to mock Guler for his lack of minutes under Carlo Ancelotti this season. On an Instagram picture featuring the heated confrontation between Guler and Szoboszlai, the Hungarian wrote "1088'" to represent the total minutes Guler has played for Los Blancos this season.
According to Marca, the Turkish youth has played 644 minutes in La Liga, 142 in the Champions League, 2 in the European Super Cup, and 300 in the Copa del Rey. At the same time, Szoboszlai has been a key player for Liverpool, having played over 2800 minutes for the club.
Anyway, the statement was not only obnoxious but also ill-intentioned against a 20-year-old trying to make his place at the world's largest club. It also does not make sense because the Hungarian has a poor record against Arda Guler's squad on all fronts. Be it at the international or club level. The head-to-head data speaks for itself.
