A member of the midfield ranks at La Liga giants Real Madrid conjured up a moment of utter individual brilliance on the international front on Thursday.
The Blancos star in question? Arda Güler.
Youngster Arda is of course in the midst of what has been nothing short of a brilliant campaign to date, on the books of the aforementioned Real Madrid.

And though he and his teammates were ultimately condemned to the wrong side of a 2-1 result, Arda nevertheless continued to shine.
Amid a spectacular individual showing, the versatile midfielder netted his country’s only goal, with 20 minutes on the clock.
After Türkiye were afforded a free-kick the best part of 30 yards from goal, Arda stepped up to bend a sumptuous left-footed strike into the top corner of the Belgian net:
