Real Madrid gained critical three points at the Italian capital against Roma delivering a stunning 4-3 comeback victory. Following the game Real Madrid Manager Jose Mourinho hauls praises for Arda Güler who coming off the bench provided one assist and one key pass that ignited Spanish side while scoreboard shows 3-1 for Roma.

"Arda Güler is one of the most important players we have in this squad. I know that better than anyone. Tonight he came off the bench and delivered two brilliant assists that completely changed the game and helped us secure a 4-3 win against Roma" says the Portuguese during the press conference after the game.

Mourinho underlines that "starting Arda on the bench was a purely tactical decision" adding, "Against a side like Roma, with the way the match was set up, I wanted to control the first half and then use Arda’s quality at the exact right moment. That is not a sign of doubt — it is the opposite. I know how important he is, which is precisely why I managed him that way."

"When he came on, he showed immediately why he is special" says Mourinho and follows as "The vision, the execution, the composure… two assists like that in a difficult away game is not luck. It is class. He is a fantastic player, and tonight he proved once again why he is so important for Real Madrid."
