Rising Turkish star Arda Güler is making waves at Real Madrid under the guidance of new head coach Xabi Alonso—and he’s not doing it alone. Güler recently opened up about his growing influence on the pitch and his seamless connection with superstar teammate Kylian Mbappé, saying the duo are “made for each other.”
Thriving Under Xabi Alonso’s Leadership
After a quiet spell under former manager Carlo Ancelotti, Güler is finally getting his chance to shine. Since Xabi Alonso’s arrival, the 20-year-old midfielder has become a vital part of the squad. Speaking with L’Équipe, Güler expressed unwavering trust in his new coach.
“I have complete faith in Xabi Alonso’s plans,” he said. “If one day he tells me to play in goal, I’ll buy gloves!”
This light-hearted remark reflects not only Güler’s sense of humor but also the strong bond he’s building with Alonso, who has quickly made the young midfielder feel indispensable in his tactical setup.
A Natural Connection with Kylian Mbappé
When asked about his on-field relationship with French forward Kylian Mbappé, Güler didn’t hold back. According to him, their styles are perfectly complementary.
“Mbappé’s qualities and mine are made for each other,” Güler revealed. “We understand each other really well; everything flows.”
He added that their synergy often begins before kickoff. “Sometimes, we chat a bit before matches—‘Today we should do this, that.’ And there are also nights when a simple look is enough.”
The budding partnership between Güler and Mbappé is quickly becoming one of Real Madrid’s most exciting storylines, offering fans a glimpse into the future of the club’s attacking brilliance.
Looking Ahead
With Güler finding his rhythm and developing a strong partnership with Mbappé, Real Madrid appears to be in capable hands for years to come. As the season progresses, fans can expect more creative sparks between the two as they continue to gel under Alonso’s evolving tactical blueprint.
