Arda Guler: 'The Turkish Messi' who has joined Real Madrid

Arda Guler: 'The Turkish Messi' who has joined Real Madrid

Arda Guler, being compared to Argentine legend Lionel Messi is now a right of passage for any young attacking player, especially those with a low centre of gravity and superb dribbling skills, both of which the 18-year-old from Altindag possesses.

So far nobody has lived up to the hype, certainly not the aforementioned Sardar Azmoun, Marko Marin and Ryan Gauld. In all likelihood, no one ever will.

However, there is genuine hope that the ludicrously-talented Guler can become one of those to move beyond the tag and forge his own stellar path - one that has now led him to the league the man he is being compared to spectacularly tore up for much of his unparalleled career.

fouled for a penalty against Besiktas in April - one of many impressive clips that comprise the inevitable YouTube compilations already dedicated to this fledgling talent.

He also possesses the prized ability to pick and play the right pass. See the devastating assist he provided in the 2-0 win over Antalyaspor, evading two opponents before curling a pass from the right precisely with the outside of his boot through two defenders and into the stride of scorer Enner Valencia. Most players don't do that, especially not at 18.

His ability to shift direction and initial turn of pace are electric. He is also versatile enough to operate in numerous attacking roles, although he favours cutting onto his left foot from the right, and is a menace from set-pieces - the means through which he provided his debut assist, from a corner.

Added to that is a willingness to press and, despite his tender age, mix it with the bigger boys.

Finally, he is not scared of improvising or trying the audacious, as demonstrated by his 20-yard lob against the bar that Valencia followed up to finish in a 5-1 win over Kasimpasa in January.

Arda Guler celebrates scoring his first goal for Turkey in a Euro 2024 qualifier against Wales | sportz point
Guler came off the bench to score against Wales in a Euro 2024 qualifier in June (BBC)

Having made his international debut in a friendly win over Czech Republic on 19 November 2022, he netted his first goal this June, in his fourth appearance.

The goal .was a showcase for just how devastating he can be when allowed even a fraction of time and space from the right, with Wales' defence giving him all he needed to curl a superb 20-yard shot into the far top corner.

While not wishing to further court comparison, it is clear to see why a Barcelona side that missed out on re-signing the OG Messi this summer would have been so keen to recruit a younger player in Guler, with the long-term capability to bring some of the qualities absent in their side since the Argentine left.

The question was always going to be whether Guler saw this summer as the right time to spread his wings and next season as the time to test himself at a higher level?

His playmaker predecessor at Fenerbahce, Ozil - who moved to Real himself as a 21-year-old - has weighed in on the issue, reportedly telling his former team-mate he should stay in Turkey for another season to aid his development. And there is certainly some validity to the stance.

Guler is young, still slight and far from the finished article. La Liga, Bundesliga and Premier League defenders will be uncompromising.

His quest to properly channel his clear enthusiasm and add consistency to his game would possibly be aided by regular football in a familiar, friendly climate away from the media glare focused on Europe's elite clubs.

At Real, though, he may well find kinship among a growing group of lauded peers recruited as what the club hopes will be a new iteration of Galacticos.

With exciting young forwards Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo already at the club, the 14-time European champions have focused especially on refreshing their ageing midfield in recent summers, with Guler the latest puzzle piece.

Final verdict: Barcelona at the top of table

Atletico Madrid vs FC Barcelona LaLiga 2024 - 25 LIVE updates: Yamal's late goal gives Barcelona full points; ATM 2-4 FCB | sportzpoint.com

In the end, Barcelona got what they were looking for. With nearly 11 games to go for them, they climb back to the top of the table with 60 points. 

They are now equal with Real Madrid but they have a far better goal difference to be at the top. 

It was a perfect start for Atletico Madrid with a goal from Julian Alvarez in the first half and from Sorloth in the second half. They crowded the box and defended with the whole team but a team like Barcelona are always tough to the restricted like that. 

Inigo Martinez and Pedri alongside Kounde were superb for Barcelona as they kept the team calm even after going down. 

Lewandowski scored the first one for them with a cool head and Ferran Torres then came from the bench to score the equaliser. 

Lamine Yamal then produced a clutch finish in the added time while Torres scored his second to put an end to the coffin. 

Thank you to everyone who stayed up late for the match. I hope you enjoyed the game and the coverage. This is Koushik Biswas, saying you good night. See you in the next game.

Final Verdict

A night of pure drama at the Metropolitano ended with Real Madrid emerging victorious from the penalty shootout after Atletico Madridโ€™s early blitz set the stage for an unforgettable battle.

Conor Gallagher shocked the visitors with a goal just 30 seconds in, catching Real cold and sending the home crowd into a frenzy. Atletico pressed high and dominated the first half, suffocating Ancelottiโ€™s side and refusing to let them settle.

Real grew into the game after the break, with Vinicius Jr and Bellingham pushing forward, but Jan Oblak stood tall, denying several key chances. Atletico, too, had their moments to seal it, Griezmannโ€™s curling effort came agonizingly close, but neither could put the tie to bed.

Extra time was a war of attrition, both sides running on fumes. Real nearly snatched it late, with Rodrygo striking the post, but penalties became inevitable.

In the shootout, nerves ran high. Real Madridโ€™s resilience shone through โ€” Rรผdiger, Mbappรฉ, Valverde, and Bellingham converted with ice in their veins. Atletico faltered, with รlvarez and Llorente missing their crucial spot-kicks, while Lucas Vรกzquez uncharacteristically blasted his over for Real.

In the end, it was another classic European night for Los Blancos โ€” battered, bruised, but never beaten. Atletico, brave and brilliant for large spells, are left heartbroken, knowing they were inches from glory.

Real Madrid march on, proving once again why they are the kings of Europe.

Half Time Verdict: ATM 1-0 RMA

What a blistering start at the Metropolitano! Conor Gallagher, the surprise inclusion in Diego Simeone's XI, wasted no time making his mark โ€” smashing the opener past Courtois just 30 seconds in. Atletico came out like a team possessed, fueled by the electric home crowd, and Gallagherโ€™s early strike set the tone.

Real Madrid, stunned by the rapid goal, struggled to find their rhythm. Vinicius Jr and Bellingham had flashes of brilliance but were largely kept quiet by Atleticoโ€™s well-organized, tenacious defense. Simeoneโ€™s side has been relentless off the ball, pressing high and forcing mistakes in midfield.

Carlo Ancelotti will demand more urgency from his men after the break. With their UCL hopes hanging in the balance, Los Blancos need a spark โ€” and fast โ€” to avoid crashing out.

Itโ€™s all set up for a blockbuster second half. Can Real Madrid fight back?
