What made Arda Guler's 75-yard goal so special?
The very, very special effort from Arnaud Goullert. We've seen the goalkeeper off his line, he's going for it! Unbelievable, 75 yards out, was it? He played five of the youth players. Palacios, Aguado, Thiago, Yanez and Miguel Angel. I mean, that's a leap of faith right there, isn't it? The player who has not been playing well is Lewandowski. There comes a point, however good you are, when your powers decline.
Hello and welcome to the Rest is Football La Liga episode with Alex Aljo and me, Gary Lineker. Since we last spoken, of course, we've had Champions League week. You're waiting for another Champions League. I presume you're in Manchester getting ready for City Real Madrid. Yeah, getting ready for the comeback. La remontada. Or not. Yeah, the last time Real Madrid conceded four or more in the Champions League was here in Manchester at the Etihad. So maybe that gives City hope, but I'm not overly hopeful for Manchester City. We'll talk about it in a moment, but they played well at the weekend and I can't see City going through. Yeah, so you're always jet-setting, aren't you? Going to all the posh places, Newcastle, Manchester...
And Los Angeles on Friday. Whee, that sounds, that's got a bit more of a sunshine feel to it. Yeah, yeah. What about you, Gary? What have you been up to? What have I been up to? I went to the Emirates on Saturday. Saw a special moment, I think. Incredible. The emergence of young Max Dowman. I mean, he's been around, everybody knows about him for a couple of years now, but it's nice to see him in the flesh, as it were, which was a special moment. We'd probably start with Real Madrid because that was kind of more newsworthy for a couple of reasons. Another Fede Valverde goal and a very, very special effort from Aldo Guler. Guler, who's seen the goalkeeper off his line, he's going for it! Wasn't that incredible, that goal?
So, so, so good. Unbelievable. 75 yards out, was it? Yeah, I was chatting with Harry this morning, wondering whether that's the long... I mean, obviously goalkeepers have scored, but they're kind of flukes. Yeah. But a deliberate effort. Yeah. Couldn't think of one further away. For Tauru, for Leicester, actually scored one earlier this season, which was not far short of that, but it definitely wasn't 75 yards. But he did, I think he nutmegged someone first. That was, for me, a better goal, but I'm biased. What was the furthest you scored from? I think five, five yards. I did score one in my, you know, the proper, not a long range effort like Goulet's, but I did score one from only in my whole career. I think one way, absolute top corner.
It was on the angle. So it gave me a little bit more, but it was definitely outside the box. And that was at Old Trafford for Spurs in a 1-0 win. Love it. That's actually one of those few goals of my career that you can actually find on YouTube and it's not in black and white. Okay, well, I'll have a look after this and have a watch of that. But this was, I mean, what a goal. That goes beyond words. Sensational from Aragula. Yeah, unbelievable. And it feels like the mood is better at the Burnabout all of a sudden. I think they didn't expect to beat City 3-0, but that win was really key for them. They really needed that. Valverde, you mentioned him, has been absolutely brilliant. Five goals in three matches now.
And he really deserves this moment. He deserves people. He's sort of like the unsung hero for Real Madrid. He goes about his business. I think the headline of Marco was 11 Fedes. 11 Fedes, yeah. Yeah, he just runs and runs and runs. He covers so much ground. he's a brilliant player and yeah it's good to see him scoring goals now and it's also good to see goals coming from players that aren't Kylian Mbappe because obviously there's a lot of talk about the over-reliance of Kylian Mbappe and his goals but it just feels like Phil Goodfactor is back at Real Madrid I think to be fair that That was never an issue. I don't think it was about there not being good vibes or anything within the team. It was more the fact they just weren't performing on the pitch.
