Mourinho mima a Güler after Turkey’s World Cup wipeout
Real Madrid’s new boss fires up the young starlet with a personal pep talk before the club even kicks a ball.

José Mourinho reached out to Arda Güler within hours of Turkey’s 2026 World Cup elimination, delivering a private message that the 21-year-old remains a non-negotiable piece of his Real Madrid rebuild. Turkey exited without scoring, losing 1–0 to Australia on November 23 and 2–0 to Paraguay on November 28 in a Group B mauling. Güler, marked out of the game in both matches, managed just one shot on target across 137 minutes.
