Real Madrid's away trip to Valencia in Matchday 12 of La Liga saw Arda Güler contribute 1 goal and 1 assist to his team. The young star's performance brought him into the headlines of the Spanish press.

Marca assessed Arda Güler's performance this season. The piece noted that the player has contributed to 10 goals so far this season and that this is the best start of his career. It was emphasized that with this figure, Güler has already surpassed his total contributions from the whole of the previous season.

The analysis described how Jose Mourinho has found a new role for the player. Used to playing further forward, Güler is now deployed as a versatile player who contributes from different positions and works in midfield. His ability to weigh passing options, find teammates in open space, and read the situation before receiving the ball was also highlighted.

The report noted that Güler has forged an effective connection with Kylian Mbappe, has worked with Mourinho on his defensive skills, and has learned to read pressing situations. According to Marca, the player now influences matches not only through individual talent but by understanding the game more deeply. It was also stressed that Mourinho has given him the confidence needed for a leadership role.
