Real Madrid youngster Arda Guler has had a tough season so far, defined by injuries and frustration at his lack of game time once he has been fit.b However he got a few more minutes against Osasuna, and showed just why the one thing in doubt is not his talent.
With Real Madrid 4-2 up and cruising in stoppage time, Guler turned away from his defender and escaped the intended foul, before launching the ball from just inside the half. His effort saw Herrera sprinting back and he cracked the top of the crossbar. He was only robbed of an assist by Fede Valverde fluffing his lines in front of an open goal, having done everything perfectly all match until that point.
There has been talk of Guler going out on loan next summer, in search of more minutes, but the Turkish teenager seems determined to stay and fight for his place. Against Osasuna, fans saw a glimpse of where that self-belief comes from.

We are leading 4-1 but still Ancelotti finds it difficult to bring Arda Güler in 75 mins? He's bringing in at 84 -85 mins to play what exactly? This coach will waste this talent. I wish Arda Güler was in Barcelona because Xavi believes so much in young talents

Real Madrid win most matches because of individual performances not because of Ancelotti's tactics. Ancelotti is a clueless coach bit most Madrid fans don't see it.

This is how you guys were making noise about Lunin and Brahim earlier in the season. Is Brahim and Lunin not played now by the same Ancelotti? You guys should allow the coaches do their work and eat a meal of patience. If Ander does not have quality, he won't be in CF Real Madrid. Ancelotti is teaching him how to work hard and break into the first time for our own good in the future. Same pathway all our young legends went thru, Ramos saw bench time until Salgado left, Marcelo until Carlos left, Cama too, even Rodrygo and Vinny paid their dues, they even went to Castilla to play n came back to the first time. Velverde was worse. These same fans criticized Zidane for selling Ilorente instead of Velverde until he showed his class in training and became undroppable. They keep quiet. At least Ancelotti didn't send Arder to Casilla cos he believes in him. We should respect the ones playing cos they are Real Madrid players too! Anybody starting for Real Madrid deserves it even when Joselu whenever he starts. Perez did very this season by removing all the dead woods on our bench. We have a good bench now, and anybody can start but we have to respect the coaches decision. Hala Madrid
