Güler outshines Bellingham in pre-season, contending for Real Madrid's attacking midfield spot

According to Mundo Deportivo, Güler and Bellingham will compete for Real Madrid's starting attacking midfield position next season.

Güler and Bellingham will compete for a starting spot at Real Madrid, managed by Mourinho, this season. The Portuguese coach wants them to play as attacking midfielders behind striker Mbappé, serving as a link between midfield and attack.

This role initially seemed to belong to Bellingham, but the Englishman faced competition from Güler, who performed well in Real Madrid's preseason. Mourinho played Güler as a central midfielder before moving him into an attacking midfield position, where he also delivered a brilliant performance.

The Turkish player was one of the standout performers in Real Madrid's preseason and made the most of Bellingham's absence from training after the Club World Cup. As it stands, Güler has a better chance than Bellingham of starting Real Madrid's opening league match against Espanyol on August 22nd. What happens next remains to be seen, but it is clear that Bellingham must work harder to reach Güler's current form.
