Arda Guler only scores bangers.

The Turkish star produced two beautiful first-half tallies in Real Madrid's Champions League clash at Bayern Munich on Wednesday.

Manuel Neuer, who was almost immaculate in the opening leg of the quarterfinal, made the fatal error of passing the ball straight to the feet of Guler around 30 seconds into Wednesday's return fixture. The Real Madrid playmaker was roughly 40 yards out but confidently pounced on the mistake with a superb effort that curled into the back of the net.

After Aleksandar Pavlovic's close-range header in the sixth minute put Bayern back in the lead on aggregate, Guler stepped up for the visitors again. The 21-year-old swung a free-kick over the wall that Neuer couldn't prevent from finding the top corner.

Guler's heroics ultimately weren't enough for Real Madrid, though. Bayern Munich scored two late goals in the second half to eventually claim a thrilling 6-4 aggregate triumph and advance to the semifinals.
