Watch – Real Madrid icon Mesut Ozil’s surprise response when asked to pick between Ronaldo and Messi | OneFootball

Former Real Madrid midfielder Mesut Ozil recently brought laughter to many with his clever response during a press event in Azerbaijan.

As expected, one of the questions posed to him was the age-old debate that has sparked conversations worldwide – “Messi or Ronaldo?”

Ozil’s response was both surprising and humorous. Instead of choosing between Messi and Ronaldo, his answer was plain and simple; “Arda Guler”.

The unexpected answer delighted the crowd, who responded with an enthusiastic round of applause.

Two different fates

It is well known that Ozil and Guler have mutual admiration for each other. However, their careers at Real Madrid have taken very different paths.

Ozil enjoyed a successful stint at the club, leaving with several accomplishments under his belt. Guler, on the other hand, is still in the early stages of his journey with the team, yet to fully establish himself.

This season, Guler has only played 291 minutes in 10 appearances across competitions such as the UEFA Super Cup, La Liga, and the Champions League.

This is significantly fewer than the minutes he has played for Turkey in the Nations League, sparking discussions about his role within the squad and how he can secure more game time.

Despite these challenges, Real Madrid remains confident in Guler’s potential. However, it’s unclear how manager Carlo Ancelotti plans to balance the youngster’s development and his playing time in a squad filled with experienced stars.

The future holds many questions, but one thing is certain: Guler will need to work hard to carve out a more prominent role at the club.

For now, Real Madrid fans will keep an eye on the young talent, hoping that he will soon make a lasting impact on the team.

How he progresses under Ancelotti remains to be seen, but his talent is undeniable, and the club’s trust in him is unwavering.
