He also scored in another match he started, a 3-0 victory over Girona.

This marks Güler’s first time receiving this award, and it will be interesting to see when he begins to receive more starting opportunities, as the Turkish player has only started three of the eight games played in December across all competitions.

Jude Bellingham was nominated for the La Liga Player of the Month award, with the winner yet to be announced, but he is considered a strong contender to win it for the third time.
