Real Madrid's Arda Güler produced a moment of magic with a goal from his own half in their 4-1 victory over Elche. The Turkish midfielder caught goalkeeper Matías Dituro off his line with an ingenious lob from 68.6 meters in the 89th minute at the Bernabéu, sealing Madrid's win after earlier goals from Antonio Rüdiger, Federico Valverde, and Dean Huijsen.

The goal, the longest in LaLiga over the past 15 seasons, drew rave reviews from former Madrid defender Álvaro Arbeloa, who managed the team in this match. 'We should frame it and hang it on a wall,' Arbeloa told Real Madrid TV. 'It's amazing. Wonderful.' Elche coach Eder Sarabia called Güler 'one of the best players in the world' after the strike.

Madrid's victory moves them within a point of leaders Barcelona ahead of their Sunday match. The win also allowed Arbeloa to give minutes to five substitutes aged 21 or under, a nod to the club's academy tradition. 'This is a day of immense happiness and pride,' Arbeloa said, comparing the display to the legendary Quinta del Buitre era. The manager added that Kylian Mbappé's fitness for Tuesday's Champions League second leg against Manchester City would be assessed Sunday.
