This is how Tivoli Stadion said goodbye to Güler: Goosebumps

The friendly match between Real Madrid and WSG Tirol left several memorable images. One of them was the ovation Arda Güler received when he was substituted in the 82nd minute.

The young Turk delivered a brilliant match and was the protagonist from start to finish. When the fourth official signaled the substitution, the crowd at Tivoli Stadion rose to their feet. The applause and shouts of admiration echoed throughout the stadium.

A recital with the ball

Güler's numbers speak for themselves: 82 minutes on the field (82 min.), 81 touches. One assist. 65 out of 71 passes completed, with a 92% accuracy rate.

He didn't settle for playing it safe. He delivered four precise long balls and created four goal-scoring chances. He made six passes into the final third and recorded four key passes.

He was close to scoring. Two of his shots hit the woodwork. He also worked off the ball: three recoveries that prevented dangerous attacks from Tirol.

His final rating: 8.8 according to SofaScore.  A performance that confirms his preseason is on the right track.

The fans' affection

The ovation at Tivoli Stadion was no coincidence. From the start, Güler captivated the crowd with his vision and technical ability. Every touch, every through ball, drew murmurs of admiration.

When he left the field, the stands recognized his commitment and talent. The player himself, visibly moved, thanked all sections of the stadium with applause.

It was a moment that transcends sports. It's not common for a 19-year-old footballer, newly arrived at such a demanding club, to receive that level of recognition in a friendly match.

Real Madrid thus closes its only preseason friendly with positive feelings. With the certainty that Arda Güler is ready to play a leading role this season.

In Innsbruck, he made it clear that he has magic in his boots. Tivoli Stadion, aware of this, bid him farewell as the greats are: standing and with an ovation that gave everyone goosebumps.
