Real Madrid spent most of their 2024–25 season without a solid backup striker to provide a spark off the bench. Instead of turning to his young players, Carlo Ancelotti relied on his veterans to secure results across all competitions, which ultimately backfired.

He was the true beacon of Real Madrid's play: Arda Güler delivered a textbook performance against Borussia Dortmund, earning the title of Player of the Match. The Turkish talent recorded 78 touches, 2 assists, 2/3 accurate crosses, 2/2 successful long balls, and an incredible 95.5% passing accuracy (65 out of 68).
