Football — 07/03/2024

Although Real Madrid may be grumbling behind the scenes that Vinicius Junior will not be facing a brutal match against Uruguay at the 2024 Copa América, the player will surely be kicking himself for receiving a pivotal suspension.

during harsh criticism in his own nation during a scoreless draw with Costa Rica, Vinicius looked good in Brazil’s second group game against Paraguay, scoring a brace. Brazil advanced to the next round as the runner-up team after a 1-1 tie with Colombia in their last match.

Uruguay, one of the tournament favorites, will face off against Brazil in a must-win matchup. However, following his forearm gesture against Colombian star James Rodriguez, Vinicius will not be in attendance. Vinicius’ discipline has been called into question before; during Real Madrid’s Champions League match against RB Leipzig, he was almost sent off for a similar infraction.

Follows in the footsteps of Ronaldo and Wayne as Real Madrid prodigy achieves extraordinary accomplishment at Euro 2024

Arda Guler, a teenage player for Real Madrid, is representing Turkey at the UEFA Euro 2024, the highest stage in football.

With a crucial goal in Turkey’s opening match against Georgia, the 19-year-old got the competition started to a great start.

Guler made a strong return to the lineup versus Czechia after being unexpectedly benched for the following match against Portugal. He helped his team advance to the knockout stages with another great performance.

With a 2-0 win over Austria last night, Turkey advanced to the quarterfinals of the European Championships, where Guler once again showed off his skills.аfter аssιstιng оn MerιҺ Ԁemιrаl’s fιrst gоаl, tҺe yоung Reаl MаԀrιԀ stаr set up tҺe center bаck fоr Һιs secоnԀ gоаl оf tҺe mаtcҺ wιtҺ а pιnpоιnt cоrner kιck tҺаt tҺe ex-Juventus plаyer fιnιsҺeԀ оff.

Guler became just the third adolescent in Euro history to score and assist in the same tournament.

Two other players—Wayne Rooney of Manchester United and Real Madrid great Cristiano Ronaldo—also accomplished that in 2004.

Following in the footsteps of two modern-day footballing legends, Guler scored against Georgia and assisted against Austria.
