Arda Guler has yet to prove himself at Real Madrid. |
The talented youngster attracted attention not only for his outstanding skills, but also for his composure and refined playing style. However, upon entering the harsh environment of Real Madrid, Güler (nicknamed the "Turkish Messi") faced a challenging reality: a steady decline in his career at the club.
This season was supposed to be Güler's time to make his mark, but instead of breaking out and winning the hearts of Madridistas, he has slowly faded into obscurity. Güler has yet to prove why he is considered one of the brightest young talents in Turkish and world football.
Starting from Leganes - the night begins
After a busy and challenging international break with the Turkish national team, Güler was given the chance to return to the Real Madrid starting line-up for the match against Leganes in the 29th round of La Liga in the early morning of March 30. The absence of stars such as Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo Goes, Endrick and Fede Valverde opened up a valuable opportunity for the 20-year-old player. However, despite being given the chance, Güler once again failed to take advantage and failed to leave any truly memorable mark.
Contrary to the expectations of the fans, Güler could not make a difference in the minutes he was on the pitch. From a shining star of the Turkish team, he is now a shadowy name at the Bernabeu, where he is not only ignored but also has to face gentle whistles from the audience.
Güler’s decline can be traced back to the match in Butarque, on February 6, when Real Madrid faced Leganes in the Copa del Rey. In that match, Güler played 75 minutes, making some positive impressions by opening the penalty that opened the scoring for Mbappe, winning three successful duels, and creating five chances for his teammates.
Shining for the Turkish national team is not enough for Arda Guler to take a starting position at Real Madrid. |
However, the longer he played, the more obscure Guler became, lacking connection with his teammates. In particular, despite impressive statistics, the feeling of instability in Guler's playing style still existed. He could not maintain the necessary stability, and the next opportunities in Real Madrid's first team were not effectively utilized by himself.
The match against Leganes left an indelible mark on Güler's inability to assert himself. A talented player, but lacking in confidence and unable to fully develop his abilities. This became even more evident when looking at the following matches.
Opportunity gone?
After the match in Butarque, Güler was absent from eight important matches, including La Liga clashes with Atletico Madrid, Osasuna, Girona and Rayo Vallecano, as well as crucial Champions League games against Manchester City and Atletico Madrid. With the team facing major challenges, especially in the La Liga title race and the Champions League quarter-finals, Real Madrid desperately need players who can shine at the right time. But Güler, despite his talent, has not been able to make a difference when the team needs him most.
Talented youngsters like Güler need consistency in playing time and a strong belief from the coaching staff to develop. However, his inconsistent form and lack of success in big games have raised questions about his ability to make a breakthrough at this club.

Guler will need to put in more effort. |
Coach Carlo Ancelotti, however, still has faith in Güler. He knows that with talents like Güler, consistency in opportunities and confidence are key to development. However, if Güler fails to capitalize on the current opportunities, his Real Madrid career will quickly fade into oblivion.
The season is long, and Güler still has a chance to prove himself. However, if he cannot turn things around and improve his form, it is still a big question mark whether he can become a star at Real Madrid. Only time will tell whether the Turkish player can regain his form and prove his worth.
