Guler impressing for Real MadridScores winner at Real SociedadAncelotti says he is going nowhereWHAT HAPPENED?

Los Blancos signed the Turkish talent from Fenerbahce last summer for a reported £25.4 million ($32m) but the 19-year-old has found game time hard to come by. However, after scoring on his first La Liga start in a 1-0 win over Real Sociedad on Friday, manager Ancelotti says the attacking midfielder isn't going anywhere.

He told reporters on Friday: "There's no doubt he'll [Guler] stay here next year. I think they did very well. They've performed well on the pitch. He's battled, he's fought. He's staying next year, there's no doubt about it. He is very young. Little by little he will have his role. It's quite clear that he has scored more goals than minutes played. That's the gift he has."

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Guler, who has been nicknamed the 'Turkish Messi', has made just eight appearances in all competitions for Madrid and his lack of minutes led to links with Milan, Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen. Despite that, the youngster, whose contract expires in 2029, is more than content to be at the Spanish giants. He told Madrid's website on Friday: "This is the best club in the world and scoring is one of the best feelings. I'm very happy to be here and to have scored. I'd like to thank everyone."

Guler, who helped Madrid inch closer to a La Liga title with his goal against La Real, will hope to feature more in their last five league games of the season. Los Blancos need just four more points to claim the title.
