In the UEFA Champions League matchday 8 encounter, Portuguese side Benfica defeated Real Madrid 4-2 on their home turf. One of the most notable moments of the match occurred when Real Madrid's young star Arda Güler was taken off the pitch.
With a goal in stoppage time from Benfica goalkeeper Trubin that sealed the score and carried his team to the play-off round, the Portuguese side achieved a major success in the tournament. While this result brought great joy to Benfica, disappointment prevailed in the Real Madrid camp, which finished outside the top 8 in the group stage.
Arda Güler was taken off in the 78th minute of the match. After the decision to substitute the star player, his anger toward manager Alvaro Arbeloa was evident, and his reaction on the sidelines was captured by cameras. Arda's move toward the locker room while saying, "Why always me!" caused a major stir on social media and in the sports press.
