Arda Guler, the young Turkish football sensation, has quickly become a favorite among Real Madrid fans. Just before the UEFA Super Cup final, Guler posted a video on Instagram that electrified Madrid fans.

The video featured the theme music from the popular TV series “Succession” and celebrated Real Madrid’s greatness. The post thrilled the club’s supporters and amplified their excitement ahead of the match.

Shortly after, Guler had a moment during Real Madrid’s final training session before the match against Atalanta that added to his growing popularity.

During a routine drill, Guler surprisingly missed a shot, causing laughter among his teammates and head coach Carlo Ancelotti. The incident, though minor, demonstrated Guler’s strong bond with the team. It also showed his ability to maintain a sense of humor, further endearing him to fans.

This isn’t the first time Guler has captured the attention of Madrid supporters. His journey with the club has included challenges, particularly injuries that delayed his debut.

However, once he made it onto the field, Guler quickly proved himself. Last season, he scored six goals in just 330 minutes of La Liga action, earning him the nickname “Turkish Messi.”

Real Madrid fans hold high hopes for Guler’s future at the club. Despite loan offers from other teams, Madrid decided to keep him, seeing his potential as a key player. Fans like Ricardo, who traveled to London for the Champions League final, have said, “If he has passion, he can play for Madrid 10 years.”

Another fan, Gavi, expressed confidence in Guler’s future, saying, “I think the time he played was amazing, so I think in the coming years we will see him inside in the Bernabeu.”
