Video: Arda Guler scores on his first La Liga start for Real Madrid
Coming off an incredible successful week, with wins against Manchester City in the Champions League and then over Barcelona in La Liga, Real Madrid have caught momentum at the right time of the season once again.
They are flying towards La Liga, and need just three more wins in the league to confirm their La Liga title.
And they have taken the first step towards the same facing off against Real Sociedad tonight at the Reale Arena. Carlo Ancelotti made nine changes to the starting lineup from the team that took on Barça, including starts for Eder Militao and Arda Guler.
His bet paid off half-an-hour into the game, as well, with none other than Guler scoring his second-ever goal in La Liga on his maiden league start for Madrid.
Aurelien Tchouameni found Daniel Carvajal running up on the right-wing, who then played an excellent first-time low cross into the box that evaded two defenders before falling to Guler on the left side.
The Turkish international made no mistake slotting the ball into the bottom right corner with his first touch and ran off to the corner flag to celebrate.
