BREAKING NEWS: Real Madrid Coach Xavi Alonso has finally awarded the Shocking No 10. Jersey to this player after the departure of Luka Madric to Ac Milan
In a jaw-dropping moment that’s set Madridista tongues wagging, Real Madrid head coach Xabi Alonso has made one of his boldest decisions yet — awarding the legendary No. 10 jersey to a surprise player following the emotional departure of club icon Luka Modrić, who recently joined AC Milan.
Speaking at a press conference earlier today at Valdebebas, Alonso confirmed the decision:
> “With Luka’s departure, we knew the No. 10 shirt needed someone special — not just a great player, but someone with the mindset, vision, and courage to carry that legacy. And after deep consideration, I’ve made my choice.”
🏆 The Shock Choice: Arda Güler
In a stunning twist, Arda Güler, the 19-year-old Turkish sensation, has been handed the sacred No. 10 shirt — a number previously worn by Real Madrid legends like Luka Modrić, Mesut Özil, and Luis Figo.
> “Arda has something you can’t teach — a natural flair, fearless creativity, and a love for the game that reminds me of Luka in his early years,” Alonso said. “This is a statement of trust. He deserves it.”
⚪ What This Means for Madrid
Signal of Faith in Youth: Alonso’s decision to give the iconic jersey to Güler, rather than an established star, signals a new era at Real Madrid — one that continues to prioritize youth, identity, and long-term planning.
End of an Era: With Modrić’s move to AC Milan, the curtain officially closes on one of the most influential periods in Real Madrid’s modern history.
A New No. 10 to Watch: Arda Güler will now shoulder the pressure of carrying the creative load in midfield — and the eyes of the world will be on how he handles the expectation.
👀 Fans React: “This Kid Better Be Ready”
Madrid fans have taken to social media in droves, with reactions ranging from excitement to cautious optimism.
> “If anyone has the magic touch to handle the 10, it’s Arda. Vamos!”
“Big risk. Big reward. Xabi knows what he’s doing.”
Güler himself responded in the press conference with humility and ambition:
> “To wear this number is more than a dream. I promise to give everything for this badge — every minute, every touch. I’m ready.”
