The Spanish media "AS" wrote an article that Real Madrid's game against Juventus was the battle where Turkish teenager Guler established his core position.

The article pointed out that Guler has shown extraordinary talent. He can "improve the ability of all the balls passing under his feet" and is good at "sending penetrating passes in small spaces and easily tearing apart the defense." Coupled with the "sparing defensive investment" shown against Juventus, he is already an "all-round player".

The article attributed Guler's transformation to head coach Xabi Alonso, calling it Alonso's "huge contribution" and "best invention." After Modric and Kroos left the team, Alonso successfully transformed Guler into "more tactical and responsible", effectively filling the vacancy. Unlike Mastantuono who failed to seize his opportunity, Guler firmly grasped the opportunity he got during Bellingham's injury.

Currently, Guler has formed Real Madrid's new midfield "central axis" with Bellingham. The former is better at "dispatching the team" and has "exquisite shooting skills", while the latter "penetrates more forward and moves in high positions." Furthermore, the attempt to pair Guler with Joan Armene proved successful.
