After Dominik Szoboszlai of Liverpool made fun of Arda Guler for the number of minutes he has played this season, Guler has responded. Emotions were running high as the two players collided during Sunday night’s Nations League encounter between Turkey and Hungary. With goals from Abdulkerim Bardakci and Hakan Calhanoglu, the Real Madrid player, Guler’s team emerged victorious, winning 3-0.
However, a confrontation between the two midfielders, in which Guler put his finger to his lips and shushed his opponent on the field, was one of the game’s most memorable moments. Szoboszlai quickly responded on social media by sharing a screenshot of the incident with the simple remark, “1088.” Making fun of the 20-year-old’s lack of participation, the figure was a reference to the number of minutes Guler has played so far this season at Real Madrid.
Fans were raving over the cruel rebuttal on the internet, but the Turkish superstar responded with an equally smart remark.
Guler Called Szoboszlai a Joke
He also referenced the result
Guler responded on his own Instagram account by posting a story with a photo of the game’s final score from Sunday. He said that Szoboszlai had made a remark about him under Hungary’s name, even though Turkey had three goals under their name.
He continued by calling the Liverpool player a “joke” and said he couldn’t believe Szoboszlai was uttering empty words, even though Turkey had defeated Hungary by six goals in the two Nations League games this week.

Fans will be anxiously awaiting any future encounters between the two midfielders, whether it be at club level with Real Madrid and Liverpool or in international football once more. It is unclear if Szoboszlai will react again, but it is obvious that they are still in love.
