In La Liga's 11th round, Real Madrid experienced a significant setback, losing 4-0 to Barcelona. This defeat allows Barcelona to extend their lead to six points, giving them a crucial advantage in the title race.
Additionally, the limited playing time of 19-year-old Turkish star Arda Guler, who has only played for 21 minutes in the last five matches, has sparked discussions among fans and commentators.

Davide Ancelotti, Carlo Ancelotti’s son, is urging his father to give Arda Guler more playtime in the upcoming match against Valencia. Davide believes that Guler should not only be a late-game substitute but should also assume a leadership role within the team.
Ancelotti had promised to provide young players with more opportunities this season. However, Guler and Endrick have played a combined total of only 14 minutes in the last four league matches, raising concerns about the lack of rotation and Ancelotti’s reluctance to adapt.
Several players in the squad have struggled to reach 300 minutes of playtime, a situation exacerbated by injuries but primarily due to Ancelotti’s stubborn approach.
Fans are increasingly demanding to see more young talent on the field. Club president Florentino Perez is closely monitoring these developments.
As he prepares for the upcoming match against Valencia, Ancelotti aims to implement a clear strategy to avoid repeating past mistakes.
However, his son and coaching staff believe it is crucial to integrate young players into the squad to revitalize the team’s performance. Following the El Clasico defeat, Real Madrid needs to regain both points and confidence.
In the aftermath of a heavy defeat in El Clasico, Real Madrid faces growing criticism of Carlo Ancelotti's management.
Fans are united in their calls for greater playing time for young talents. The role and future of Arda Guler have emerged as critical topics for the club as they look to bounce back in the league.
