Los Blancos won the tie 2-0 courtesy of second-half goals from Dani Carvajal and Vinicius Junior.

The Turkish international didn't play a significant role in Real Madrid's triumph in the competition, as he struggled with injuries at the beginning of the season.

Guler took to his official handle on X (formerly known as Twitter) to comment on winning his first European title in his career.

"Many thanks to everyone who played a part in creating such a beautiful finale for my first season," he said.

"Being a part of this amazing team fills me with pride and joy. My biggest dream is to play a significant role in the team that wins the 16th Champions League title."

The former Fenerbahce star had a good spell in the latter stage of the La Liga season, scoring six goals in 10 appearances as Real Madrid won their 36th league title.

Sports Brief earlier reported that Arda Guler's stellar rise at Real Madrid has garnered widespread acclaim, with even club legends acknowledging his remarkable talent.

Initially, doubts lingered about his adaptation to Madrid's style, seemingly compounded by limited opportunities under veteran coach, Carlo Ancelotti, despite being hailed as the 'Turkish Messi'.

Esteemed figures like legendary midfielder José María 'Guti' Gutiérrez Hernández have lauded Guler's performances, with Guti declaring the young star 'much better' than himself.
