Arda Guler hits back at Dominik Szoboszlai in new dig as feud escalates again

Real Madrid star Arda Guler has hit back at Liverpool’s Dominik Szoboszlai as their row continues to escalate online.

The duo clashed during Sunday night’s Nations League play-off second-leg tie in Budapest, which the visitors won decisively again 3-0 to follow Thursday’s initial 3-1 victory in Istanbul for an overall thumping 6-1 aggregate triumph that saw them secure promotion to League A and relegate their opponents in the process.

Guler netted Turkey’s second goal of Sunday’s game at the Puskas Arena shortly before half-time, after which he put his finger to his lips in a ‘shushing’ gesture aimed at Hungary captain Szoboszlai.

The Liverpool midfielder responded after the match on social media, producing a comment on Instagram in response to a post from Hungarian outlet Nemzeti Sport that showed the shushing gesture that read simply ‘1088’ - which was quickly deciphered as being a likely reference to the number of minutes Guler has played for Real Madrid so far this season.

The feud has not stopped there either, with Guler now calling Szoboszlai a “joke” in a new response posted to his Instagram Stories on Monday afternoon.

“This guy is a joke,” Guler posted underneath a picture of the scoreline from Budapest and of him shushing Szoboszlai. “Isn’t six goals enough to shut you up?”
