In the early morning of July 3, Austria fell to Türkiye in one of the best matches of the round of 16 of EURO 2024.

Türkiye, with reasonable tactics and a bit of luck, won 2-1, thereby gaining the right to enter the quarterfinals.

One of the players who had the most outstanding performance was Arda Guler.

Against Austria, Guler had a decisive assist to help Türkiye win. The youngster had 2 key passes, created a good chance, 2/3 dribbles, won 7/8 duels on the ground, 2 tackles and 1 interception.

The 19-year-old midfielder became only the third teenager to both score and assist at a EURO, after Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney.

According to experts, the Turkish star is proving that he is capable of taking on the role of Toni Kroos or Luka Modric at Santiago Bernabeu.

Kroos left Real Madrid at the end of last season, while Modric has not been able to contribute much at the age of 38. That is when Guler could be given a chance.

This player is really talented at only 19 years old.

Guler is not only a goalscorer as shown in his 6 goals in 373 minutes in La Liga at the end of last season, he is also showing the appearance of a number 8, number 10 in Real’s squad.

With what he has shown, Guler is one of the best young players at EURO this year. Next season, Guler’s ability will develop even more strongly.
