While Federico Valverde once again produced a stunning strike, the spotlight ultimately belonged to the Turkish midfielder, who scored from beyond the halfway line.
Did Arda Güler score the longest goal in LaLiga history?
According to football statistician MisterChip (Alexis Martín-Tamayo), the goal came from an extraordinary distance.
“Arda Güler scored with a shot from 68 meters. It is the longest goal ever scored in LaLiga, tied with the goal by Antonio José for Numancia against Sevilla in 2004 from a very similar distance,” he explained on X.
The long-range strike completely caught Elche goalkeeper Matías Dituro off guard and quickly became one of the most remarkable goals of the season.
Real Madrid still chasing Barcelona in LaLiga
With the 4-1 victory over Elche, Real Madrid reached 66 points, moving just one point behind Barcelona in the LaLiga standings.
Hansi Flick’s Barcelona will face Sevilla on Sunday, and a victory would allow the Catalan side to extend the lead back to four points at the top of the table.
