In the 18th week of La Liga, Real Madrid defeated Sevilla 2-0 and continued to follow the leader Barcelona. National football player Arda Güler, who started the match in the first 11 for the purple-whites and made a vague appearance, became the target of criticism in the Spanish press.
Real Madrid defeated Sevilla 2-0 at home last night in the 18th week of La Liga.
The goals that brought victory to the purple-whites were scored by Jude Bellingham in the 38th minute and Kylian Mbappe in the 86th minute (from a penalty). In Sevilla, Marcao was sent out of the game with a red card after receiving a second yellow card in the 68th minute.
After this result, Real Madrid increased its points to 42 and reduced the point difference with the leader Barcelona to one with one match remaining. If Barcelona beats Villarreal away today, they will increase their point difference to 4 again.
ARDA GÜLER DRAW A FADED IMAGE
National football player Arda Güler, who started the match in Real Madrid in the first 11, made a dull appearance.
According to SofaScore data, the national football player, who received 6.8 points, became the most ineffective player of Real Madrid after Fran Garcia.

The 20-year-old midfielder was replaced by Eduardo Camavinga in the 72nd minute, and after the match, the Spanish press commented on Arda Güler’s performance in the Sevilla match.
AS: “HE NEEDS TO BE CLOSE TO THE PUNISHMENT AREA”
“He needs to be close to the penalty area. He makes the difference there. He passes the ball to Mbappé there. Real Madrid is successful there. He showed his best behavior when he got into dangerous areas. Like the crosses he made in the first half and the second half. Both went to Kylian. But when he moved further back, he showed that this was not his natural position, at least for now. He had no impact on the team there. He was not a key player and he should have been a ‘key player’ where he played, but he was the first player to leave the game.”
SPORT: “THE SPARK AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SEASON HAS ALREADY DIED OUT”
“He didn’t help the team with possession and was barely visible for most of the game. He tried shots from distance and tried to send crosses into the penalty area, but that spark from the beginning of the season had long since faded.”

MARCA: “THERE IS A LACK OF RHYTHM”
“Arda Güler does not run away from the ball, but he lacks rhythm and being too far from the penalty area makes him much less effective in the game. He needs to link up with the strikers better. He is not in his best form at the moment.”
MUNDO DEPORTIVO: “HE SHOULD GIVE MUCH MORE”
“Arda Güler was almost invisible. He was almost absent at any moment of the match and could not be the decisive name when he should have been. These players, from whom a lot is expected, need to give much more on the field.”
PERFORMANCE
Arda Güler, who played 24 matches for Real Madrid this season, scored 3 goals and produced 7 assists.
