Turkish sensation Arda Guler finally scored his first goal for Real Madrid against Celta Vigo with an incredible run and finish.
Consequently, what happened?
In the summer of 2023, Guler made a dramatic transfer from Fenerbahce to the Spanish capital, with Real apparently outbidding Barcelona for his services. The highly regarded young player has had a difficult time getting into Carlo Ancelotti’s starting lineup throughout the early stages of his career with the Los Blancos. He has also experienced a number of injury setbacks. He will be relieved to have finally found the net and to have done so in style, as Real Madrid defeated Celta 4-0. He finished coolly after being passed through and rounding the keeper.

At the age of 19 years and 14 days, Guler became the youngest Turkish player to score in La Liga history with his incredible strike against Celta Vigo, according to OptaJose. In the competition, he has also emerged as Real Madrid’s sixth-youngest goalscorer of the twenty-first century.
The Turkish midfielder and Real Madrid’s next game in La Liga is scheduled for Saturday, March 16, when they visit El Sadar Stadium to play Osasuna. It is improbable that Ancelotti will give Guler the go-ahead to start the game ahead of his rivals despite the goal.
