Why Was Güler Not Played More This Season?

Real Madrid’s recent 2-3 victory over Celta Vigo has reignited discussions regarding player utilization within the squad, particularly concerning young talent Arda Güler. The Turkish midfielder delivered a standout performance, scoring start goal and providing an assist, despite having limited playing time throughout the season.

A Hard-fought Victory for Real Madrid

The reigning Spanish champions faced a challenging match against Celta Vigo, where they initially held a commanding 3-0 lead. However, the match concluded with a narrow 2-3 victory, allowing them to maintain a four-point gap over their rivals Barcelona. This match has intensified the ongoing title race in La Liga, particularly with both teams set to meet again later in the season.

Güler’s Breakthrough Performance

Arda Güler, the talented young midfielder, has been notably underutilized by coach Carlo Ancelotti this season. His impactful performance in the match against Celta has led to questions among fans and pundits alike, particularly highlighted in a recent article by Marca, which asked, “Why has Rodrygo played so much while Güler has played so little?” Güler’s skills and potential have prompted discussions about whether he deserved more opportunities on the pitch.

Kylian Mbappé’s Historic Achievement

While Güler stole the spotlight, Kylian Mbappé also made headlines by scoring twstart, bringing his tally to 35 goals for the season across all competitions. This achievement puts him in elite company, as he becomes only the second player in Real Madrid’s history to score 35 or more goals in his debut season, a feat previously accomplished by Iván Zamorano during the 1992-93 season. Despite his personal success, the current season has been a disappointment for Mbappé in terms of team objectives.

In the wake of this match, the spotlight will undoubtedly remain on Güler’s future opportunities in the lineup, as Real Madrid seeks to close the gap with Barcelona and defend their title in La Liga
