Real Madrid’s ‘Turkish Messi’ vs. Liverpool Star…
Arda Guler and Dominik Szoboszlai’s on-pitch feud has become the world’s newest soap opera. Both players, almost teammates at Liverpool, took their rivalry next level during Turkey’s 3-0 Nations League win over Hungary. Guler even attempted the ultimate shush on Szoboszlai. They spilled the tea all over social media, with Szoboszlai cryptically posting ‘1088’, referring to Guler’s minutes played for Real Madrid this season. Meanwhile, Guler’s response was spicier than a Turkish kebab: “This guy is a joke. Isn’t six goals enough to shut you up?” He even shared a cheeky scoreboard picture declaring “Szoboszlai 1 Instagram comment”.
Once upon a time, Liverpool fans dreamt of a Guler transfer. In 2023, Anfield’s rumor mill was abuzz with whispers of the young star moving from Fenerbahce. Despite PSG, AC Milan, and the rest drooling like Pavlov’s dogs, Liverpool stepped back, perhaps fearing a drama-filled dressing room. Real Madrid eventually scooped up Guler, whose debut was delayed by injuries faster than a video buffering on dial-up.
Dubbed the ‘Turkish Messi’, Guler’s Euro 2024 highlight reel featured a stunner against Georgia, but he’s still fighting for spotlight time in Madrid. Szoboszlai may have taken the last laugh with Turkey’s grand victory. Football novices, grab your popcorn; this saga isn’t over yet!
