Arda Turan the magician makes it 100
Arda celebrated 100 games for Atletico with the 3-0 win against Austria Vienna in the Champions League. Champion of the Super Cup, the Europa League and Copa del Rey. Long may it continue for the Turkish magician at the Vicente Calderon.
Magic, talent, class and style. They are all adjectives perfectly applicable to the wizard of the Calderon, a man capable of leaving thousands of fans stunned with a simple twist of the hip. That's Arda Turan, master of the left wing of Atletico Madrid. The Turkish international, born in Fatih, completed his 100th game at the Ernst Happel with a victory in the Champions League against Austria Vienna 0-3. The number '10 ' who played 90 minutes was again driving the attacking play with Koke.
Since he came to the banks of the Manzanares on August 9th 2011, Arda Turan has become one of the cornerstones of Atletico Madrid. In his first season at Atletico he managed to lift the Europa League after the win against Athletic Bilbao in Bucharest and the European Super Cup against Chelsea in Monaco. His incredible resume at Atletico increased a few months ago with the conquest of the Copa del Rey at the Santiago Bernabeu against Real Madrid in an epic final that will be remembered in the history books of Atletico.
In these hundred games, the player has managed to score 13 goals, some really important ones like in the first two Champions League games this season against Zenit and Porto. However, it is not for the goals that Arda has become one of the most beloved players at the Vicente Calderon. His genius, his dribbling, his courage and commitment in every game make him one of the most important players in Diego Pablo Simeone’s squad.
The Atlético fans wish him luck on his centenary.
Congratulations genius!
