Real Madrid Teenager ‘Thrilled’ After Scoring His First Goal Against Celta Vigo

Arda Guler ecstatic after scoring his first goal

Having scored his first-ever goal for Real Madrid, Guler spoke to the media and expressed his joy, saying:

“It was fantastic to score in such a stunning atmosphere. I hope there will be many more to come and I will work hard to make it happen,” said the 19-year-old sensation.

Admitting that it has not been an easy campaign for him, Guler hoped that the goal would be a turning point for him, saying:

“It’s been a difficult season so far, but hopefully after today better things will come. I’m really happy to be here. It’s the best club in the world and, although it’s tough, I think I have the quality and character to rise up to it.”

On the 4-0 win over Celta, he said: “It was a good performance. I’d like to congratulate the whole team on the 4-0 win.”

Discussing the move that led to his first goal for Real Madrid, Guler added: “When I was one-on-one with the goalkeeper, I saw that he was losing position, so I took the ball to my right and shot. Fortunately it went in and I’m very happy.”
