Arda Güler and Bellingham humiliate Lamine Yamal, the statistic is devastating and stings

The data show that both footballers are two of the world's greatest prospects

Real Madrid defeated CF Pachuca (3-1) last Sunday in a match that turned out to be more complicated than expected. After seven minutes, the team led by Xabi Alonso was left without Raúl Asencio. The Canarian defender grabbed Salomón Rondón just as the striker was heading toward the opposing goal, so the referee showed him the red card.

The white team went through several difficulties, but Jude Bellingham and Arda Güler, accompanied by a magnificent Gonzalo, appeared to solve the problems. The Turk, who was a substitute in the first match, made the most of his opportunity. Meanwhile, the British midfielder once again proved that his presence is more than essential in this Real Madrid.

Despite being down to ten footballers, Real Madrid finished the match in the second half thanks to a great goal from Fede Valverde. Thibaut Courtois also had his moments of glory, as he was able to prevent several goals from the Mexican club. Finally, CF Pachuca managed to score a consolation goal, but the score did not change any further.

Arda Güler and Jude Bellingham, two key players for Xabi Alonso

Xabi Alonso set several goals when he arrived at Real Madrid. One of them is the recovery of Jude Bellingham who, after a tremendous first season, eased off in the second one. 

Meanwhile, the Madrid coach also keeps in mind the development of Arda Güler at Real Madrid. The Turk is a fantastic player, who has more than enough qualities to play for the best club in the world. However, he had not had too many opportunities until now and that is what Xabi Alonso wants to change.

The data also support both footballers. According to the website "DataMB", Arda Güler is the under-23 player with the highest percentage of completed passes among the top seven leagues in the world. The chart shows the statistics of footballers who play as wingers and midfielders.

Meanwhile, Jude Bellingham is also among the top positions, so the Englishman's accuracy is another quality to highlight. The Brit is surpassed only by Desiré Doué and Florian Wirtz. 

For comparison, Lamine Yamal appears in tenth place. The Barça winger, whom many see as the next Ballon d'Or, doesn't surpass other footballers such as Cherki, Olise, Simons, Musiala, or Ben Seghir.
