Real Madrid achieved an important victory against Girona last weekend. The 2-0 left good feelings and strengthens Madrid before the upcoming Champions and Copa del Rey commitments. Modric led the midfield and the Mbappé-Vinícius duo was once again decisive in securing the victory.
Despite the triumph, Bellingham's absence was noticeable. The Englishman was suspended, and his presence was missed at times. Even so, Ancelotti's team dominated the match and left Girona with no options.
Florentino Pérez Celebrates the Triumph, but There's a Problem
The president of Real Madrid remains excited about the season. Madrid is close to the lead again and is ready for the most demanding challenges. However, not everything is good news at the Bernabéu.
Once again, one of the fans' favorites has been left without minutes. It's now five consecutive matches without stepping on the field. What seemed like a temporary situation is becoming a difficult problem to solve.
Arda Güler Can't Find His Place
Arda Güler arrived in the summer of 2023 with great expectations. His talent and flair won over Santiago Bernabéu from day one. However, injuries marked his first year and prevented him from shining until the last months of the season.
This season was expected to be his breakthrough, but the reality is very different. When he has had minutes, he hasn't had as much influence on the game as before. Now, Arda Güler has accumulated five consecutive matches without leaving the bench.
Arda Güler at the Center of Controversy
The Turk has gone from being one of the great promises to being left out of Ancelotti's plans. The competition is fierce, and his prominence has drastically reduced. From Türkiye, they are already asking him to seek an exit, and Arda Güler doesn't rule it out, nor does Florentino Pérez.
Florentino Pérez trusts his talent but is beginning to accept reality. At the moment, Arda Güler has no place in Madrid and needs minutes. The best option seems to be a loan to another European team of a less demanding level so he can continue growing.
Arda Güler: Inevitable Exit in Summer
Real Madrid doesn't want to part with Arda Güler permanently. The priority is a loan so he can regain his form and return with more experience. However, the market is open, and significant offers could come in.
Florentino Pérez knows the situation is complicated and will make the best decision for the Turk's future. For now, Real Madrid continues to rack up victories, but the question mark over Arda Güler's future remains open.
