Real Madrid settled in a fairly businesslike manner on Saturday in the Copa del Rey with Arandina CF, which plays in the fourth level. Many eyes were focused on Arda Güler. The Turkish top talent finally made his debut for De Koninklijke after a long period of injury.

Real Madrid started the lengthy transfer soap opera on July 6, 2023, in which Güler played the leading role. It has been certain for a long time that the left-footed would leave Fenerbahçe, but there were still major doubts about his next step for a long time. Various clubs were mentioned, including Ajax. Ultimately, as is known, he chose the Spanish superpower. In July he injured his knee, an injury with which he struggled for months.
He made his debut at Estadio El Montecillo, home of Arandina CF. He did that properly. The Turkish international had a great chance in the opening phase, but lacked sharpness. Not long afterwards he was close to scoring again, but then the post stood in the way of a nice goal. After the break, Real Madrid settled with the home team. Joselu first shot from eleven meters, after which Brahim Diaz made it 0-2 just one minute later. In the final phase, substitute Rodrygo scored the 0-3. Arandina still managed to score the tying goal. Nacho scored his own goal.

Güler was taken off early by Carlo Ancelotti. Next Wednesday it will become clear whether he will regain the trust of his teacher. Then Real Madrid will play the semi-finals of the Supercopa de España against rival Atlético Madrid.
This is how it can be done! 💥
