The Liverpool star subtly mocked Güler’s limited playing time at Real Madrid, posting “1088′”—a reference to the total minutes Güler has played this season—alongside his own impressive 2889 minutes at Liverpool.
The exchange has sparked widespread debate, with fans and media dissecting the growing rivalry between the two young talents.
While Szoboszlai may have the edge in club minutes, Güler’s impact on the international stage is undeniable, leaving Turkish fans hopeful for more brilliance from their rising star.
