2026 World Cup: Arda Güler’s emotional reaction after Turkey’s elimination
Turkey’s 2026 World Cup journey ended in the worst possible way. Knocked out at the group stage after just two matches, the Turkish national team leaves the tournament without scoring a single goal—a massive disappointment for the entire nation.
Deeply affected at the final whistle, Arda Güler did not shy away from taking responsibility. The Real Madrid player took the opportunity to apologize to Turkish fans, acknowledging his team’s collective failure.
“We want to apologize, we are ashamed. We all play for top clubs and we should have done much better in this competition,” said the young playmaker, visibly shaken by this early exit.
The attacking midfielder also highlighted Turkey’s offensive struggles throughout the tournament:
“In two games, we didn’t score a single goal and that’s unacceptable.”
Fully aware of the expectations placed on this talented generation, Arda Güler promised to respond and do everything possible to restore pride to the national team in future competitions.
“We play for some of the biggest clubs and we should have shown that on the pitch. I’ll do everything I can to make people forget this tournament,” he added.
This premature exit leaves a bitter taste for a Turkish team playing in their first World Cup in 24 years. Now, all eyes turn to the future and to Arda Güler, seen as the main symbol of the revival of Turkish football.
