The 20-year-old opened the scoring in the 11th minute with a brilliant finish, giving Turkey an early lead. But the joy was short-lived as Bulgaria hit back almost immediately to level the score.
Güler’s goal continues his incredible run of form at club level. The former Fenerbahçe prodigy has been on fire for Real Madrid this season, racking up four goals and six assists in just 16 appearances across all competitions.
Having now cemented his place in Madrid’s star-studded squad, Güler has smoothly transitioned from promising youngster to one of Europe’s most exciting attacking midfielders.

For Turkey, he’s quickly become the heartbeat of the national team. Since making his senior debut two years ago, Güler has grown into a crucial figure for the Crescent-Stars already boasting six goals for his country.
His strike against Bulgaria once again showed why fans and pundits see him as the player capable of leading Turkey to the 2026 World Cup and maybe even sparking a golden era for Turkish football.
