Arda Guler played the full 90 minutes in Türkiye’s surprise 3-1 defeat to Montenegro in their final Nations League group game.

In the final match of the Nations League group stage, Türkiye surprisingly lost 1-3 to Montenegro. Despite the unsatisfactory result, Arda Guler still left his mark with a relatively impressive performance in the role of attacking midfielder.

In contrast to the situation at the club, the young talent of Real Madrid was trusted by coach Vincenzo Montella to start and play the full 90 minutes.

According to Sofascore, he was the highlight of Türkiye’s play with 76 touches and a pass accuracy rate of up to 91% (49/54). The 18-year-old player made 3 key passes, creating 1 delicious opportunity for his teammates.

In addition, Arda Guler also showed flexibility in his playing style when making 8 long passes, 7 of which were accurate. He made 2 attempts to dribble past people, 1 successful, and won 6/7 duels.

However, the Turkish player’s finishing efficiency was still limited. He had a total of 5 shots, but only 1 was on target. The remaining actions did not pose a threat to Montenegro’s goal.

Despite the defeat, Türkiye still sit second in the table, one point behind Wales. Arda Guler’s performance continued to confirm the great potential of this young talent.

With his creativity and influence becoming more evident, Arda Guler promises to be an important factor in the future campaigns of the Turkish team . He also attracts interest from many big teams despite often having to sit on the bench at Real Madrid.
