Real Madrid have a very important match against Girona this Saturday at Montilivi. Ancelotti's men are looking for the 3 points with a starting eleven that is full of uncertainty until it is known. But while we find out, Arda Güler is asking for his place as a starter based on great goals.

The Turk is one of the biggest demands of the Madrid fans to Ancelotti, they want him to have more minutes. And Arda Güler is clamoring for the starting position with a tremendous goal in training . It was last Friday, the day before they traveled to face Girona at Montilivi.

Güler received the ball in the three-quarter line and it didn't take long for him to move to his left foot to shoot . His strike was perfect, powerful and placed close to the post to score the goal, making it clear to Ancelotti that he is ready to be the starter if he sees fit.

Furthermore, they want that responsibility in an important match in which Ancelotti's men can't fail. After the defeat against Athletic, the 3 points seem essential to keep up. They are 4 points behind Barça and the gap between them can't be made any bigger.

Güler Has a Place in the Starting Eleven after the Latest Absence

This Saturday we learned that Rodrygo was not in the squad after suffering a muscle problem. This leaves Ancelotti with few options up front to face Girona. Mbappé will be safe and the other position will be disputed by several players.

Endrick 's possible entry into the starting eleven would be a big surprise, but it is not ruled out. Brahim also has options in a midfield with Tchouaméni, Fede Valverde, Ceballos and Bellingham . But it is Arda Güler who is demanding that starting position.

If the Turk makes it into the '11', it doesn't seem like it will be to sacrifice the Moroccan international. It would be Aurélien, who made his comeback in Bilbao after his injury and could give him a rest. There are many doubts about the decision that Ancelotti will make, although Arda Güler has wanted to make it easy, or difficult, for him.
