"Carlo Ancelotti really robbed us", "Blood on your hands" - Fans slam Real Madrid boss for not using star more ofter after 3-2 Celta win

Real Madrid fans took their time to call out coach Carlo Ancelotti over his use of youngster Arda Guler this season after the game against Celta Vigo. The Turkish midfielder helped his side claim a 3-2 win at home, keeping their faint title hopes alive.

Ancelotti was vocal about his belief in the talents of the former Fenerbahce man this week, praising him in his press conference on Saturday. The former AC Milan boss named the Turkiye international in the starting XI at the Santiago Bernabeu, with Rodrygo absent from the squad through injury.

Guler has often been overlooked by the Italian tactician, with the 20-year-old reportedly frustrated with his situation at the club this season. He was handed only a tenth league start of the season against Celta Vigo, and he scored his side's opener and assisted another goal.

Real Madrid fans did not take kindly to the treatment meted on the youngster by the coach this season, and they made their thoughts known on it via X. A fan expressed their disappointment at how sparingly the midfielder was used, expressing hope that the club's next manager uses him better.

"Carlo Ancelotti really robbed us all from seeing more of Arda Guler’s magic. I can’t wait to see what Xabi Alonso does with him next season", they wrote.

Another fan asked that Ancelotti be arrested for holding the youngster back.

"Ancelotti should be arrested for keeping a player like Guler on the bench entire season season", they suggested.

Another fan blamed the coach for not using Guler optimally, praising the midfielder.

"Ancelotti you have blood on your hands. Arda Guler is FOOTBALL", they wrote.

A fan questioned if Ancelotti saw Guler's performance.

"ancelotti hope you can see how good my arda guler is?", they asked.

Another fan suggested that Ancelotti's handling of Guler should have earned him a sacking.

"Keeping Arda Guler on the bench this long should be enough to sack Carlo Ancelotti", they posted.

A fan pointed out that the Real Madrid boss was mistaken to have not played Guler more.

"Ancelotti’s only mistake was benching Arda Guler throughout most of the season", they wrote.

Another fan expressed their frustration at the failure of the coach to trust Guler earlier.

"Ancelotti man , I'm pissed it took him this long to trust Guler 😒", they posted.

Arda Guler was on the pitch for 83 minutes of the game but maintained a 100% passing accuracy, completing all 62 of his attempted passes. The youngster had three shots on target and created two big chances for Real Madrid. He won one tackle, made two recoveries, and won two ground duels, as well.
