Real Madrid secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Celta Vigo, but much of the post-match conversation revolved around young midfielder Arda Güler and comments from manager Álvaro Arbeloa.
Güler played an important role in the win, providing an assist as Real Madrid edged past Celta Vigo in a closely contested encounter. The Turkish youngster showed flashes of his creativity and technical quality, helping Madrid maintain control during key moments of the game.
However, a brief incident during the match caught the attention of fans and media alike. When Arbeloa decided to substitute Güler, the 19-year-old appeared surprised. Cameras captured him smiling and asking “Me?” while heading back toward the bench.
The moment quickly sparked discussion online, with many wondering whether the youngster was frustrated with the decision. Speaking after the match, Arbeloa addressed the situation directly and made his stance on Güler very clear.
“No one believes in Arda more than me,” the Madrid manager said. “I would like to know what other managers would have given Arda Güler as many minutes as he has received here.” Arbeloa also insisted that he has consistently shown faith in the young playmaker since taking charge.
“No one believes in Arda more than me… also no one has shown him so much trust,” he added.
