Arda Güler on choosing Real Madrid over Barcelona When I was deciding between the two clubs, I made it clear that if I had only wanted to win domestic trebles, I would have joined Barcelona. That is precisely why I declined their offer. I was aiming for bigger, more prestigious trophies like the UEFA Champions League, the FIFA Club World Cup, and the European Super Cup. Barcelona may dominate within Spain, but I wanted a club that competes and succeeds at the highest level both domestically and across Europe. Here at Real Madrid, we are the best team in Spain and one of the greatest forces in European football. I have never regretted choosing Los Blancos over Barcelona, even though both clubs came for me. I’m truly happy here in Madrid, where the history, ambition, and winning mentality perfectly match my own goals as a player. Every day I feel proud to wear this shirt and contribute to the club’s legendary success. A reporter Jokingly asked Neymar who’s a better player between him and Cristiano Ronaldo. 🗣️“Honestly I respect Cristiano Ronaldo for so many years till now, it’s going to be a disrespect if I say I’m at his level. What he has achieve in football isn’t just something countable. Many times I’ve mentioned this he’s the best player I’ve ever seen with the hard work he’s putting in daily to improve or to get above. Ronaldo is a greatest player even though I’ve played with Messi he’s naturally gifted.”
