Álvaro Benito announces the factor that will decide El Clásico, Ancelotti has the key

With only a few matches left in LaLiga, Real Madrid has to face Barcelona once again. Having played against the culés on three different occasions, Real Madrid hasn't been able to surpass them. Even so, their last duel in the Copa del Rey final showed some improvements that have been recognized by Álvaro Benito.

Recommending that Real Madrid play the same way as in that final, Álvaro has also revealed a factor to consider. "I would start Güler for many reasons... The boy has earned it in these last few matches..." were Álvaro's words. Aware of Güler's progress, Álvaro considers him essential for the match.

"Güler is a fine player, who plays quickly and sees the game quickly. Real Madrid needs a player who is clear..." added Álvaro. Implying that Carlo Ancelotti has the key to victory, now it remains to be seen which line-up the Italian will choose for the match.

Álvaro Benito's key

Having been part of Real Madrid since last season, Arda Güler has gone through several ups and downs. If injuries were his problem in the previous campaign, the biggest issue this season has been the lack of playing time. Having played just 1,471 minutes, Ancelotti's lack of trust in the 20-year-old player is evident.

Even so, Álvaro Benito's words have made it clear that Güler has achieved impressive progress. Becoming an increasingly complete player, his recent performances with Real Madrid show how important he is for the team.

Putting Güler above Rodrygo, who is having a terrible season, Álvaro is clear that the Turk deserves to start. Proving how decisive he can be, Güler is the key for Real Madrid to deliver a hard blow to Barcelona.

It all depends on Ancelotti

After being eliminated from the Champions League, Barcelona's mental state has been significantly affected for the Clásico. Being less prepared than Real Madrid, Ancelotti has the opportunity to deliver a statement in LaLiga.
