Guler said he tries his best to meet Alonso's expectations, and he felt he played well in the game. The 20-year-old has made about 30 appearances for Madrid and is still improving his skills.

Coach Xabi Alonso praised Guler for his progress, citing his ability to bring clarity to the game and a better dynamic to the team's play when he's involved. However, Alonso believes Guler can still improve, particularly in his decision-making and ability to handle pressure.

Alonso compared Guler to another young player, Florian Wirtz, saying he gets the same feeling when Guler enjoys playing football and wants to be involved in the game. Alonso is delighted with Guler's progress but wants him to continue improving.
