Ozil backs Real Madrid youngster Guler, says Carlos Volcano

Ozil was giving a speech at an event when he was asked to share his thoughts on two players he had the opportunity to play alongside and compete against throughout his career.

Asked about his preference between two of the best players in history, Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo, the German was clear.

"Arda Güler!" he exclaimed, raising cheers and applause from those present.

Ozil hung up the boots last year after playing out his final years in Turkey, where he played with Guler at Fenerbahce.
