Atlético Madrid
In the late hours of 9 August
2011, it was announced that Arda would be joining Atlético Madrid for a fee of €12 million plus
bonuses,making him the most expensive Turkish footballer of all-time.
He was handed the number 11 shirt
and made his 2011–12 debut on 28 August 2011 against CA Osasuna, coming on as a substitute in the
61st minute. He made his UEFA Europa
League debut on 15
September against Celtic, starting the game and assisting a goal
scored by midfielder Diego. On
18 September, Arda was again selected for the starting XI and notched two
assists, one for forward Falcao and
the other for Adrián. On 25 October, Galatasaray president Ünal Aysal stated
that Arda will come back to Galatasaray in the future underright of first
refusal that was
signed between Galatasaray and Atlético during an interview with Lig TV. On
30 November, Arda scored his first goal for Atlético in a Europa League game
against Celtic with a powerful volley from
just outside the box. On 11 December, Arda scored his first league goal
with a driven volley[citation needed]just
outside the box. In the Europa League game that followed, Arda netted again in
a 3–1 win against Rennes.
Arda scored two goals in two
minutes as Atlético defeated RCD Espanyol 3–1
on 22 April 2012 to move his side into seventh place and just three points
behind Málaga CF for
the final Champions
League spot.[12] On
9 May, in the 2012 UEFA
Europa League Final against Athletic Bilbao, he made an assist to his
teammate Radamel Falcao, which made the match 2–0.
Arda's number was changed from 11
to 10 before the 2012–13 season.
He began his season with a game-tying long, long-distance screamer in Atlético
1–1 opener against Levante UD. He then won the 2012 UEFA Super Cup with Atlético against Champions League
victors Chelsea, assisting Falcao for
the third goal of the game in a 4–1 victory.[13] On
16 September 2012, Arda scored the third goal of the game against Rayo Vallecano in a 4–3 home win. He was instrumental
in Atlético's wins in their first two Champions League matches against Zenit and Porto,
scoring a goal in each match.[14]
International career
Arda is a Turkish international
regular, having made over 50 appearances for Turkey at senior level. He made his debut in
the 1–0 friendly victory over Luxembourg on 16 August 2006, having worked his
way through the youth national team at the under-19 and under-21 levels. He
scored his first international goal on 25 May 2008 in a friendly against Uruguay.
Arda featured in nine of Turkey's 12 qualification matches for Euro 2008, and starred in the finals of the
tournament itself. He scored two goals during Turkey's progression to the
semi-finals. The first was a 92nd minute winner against co-hosts Switzerland in their second group game to knock
them out of the competition. His second came in the final group game against
the Czech
Republic, in which the winner would go through to the quarter-finals
due to identical records. He scored Turkey's first goal in the 75th minute,
beating Petr Čech with
a low shot, which lead to Turkey coming from 2–0 down to win the match. He also
successfully converted a spot-kick in the penalty shootout against Croatia in the quarter-finals, taking Turkey
to the semi-finals, where they were eventually knocked out by losing finalists Germany.
Arda scored two goals during the qualification rounds of the 2010 FIFA World Cup,
but ultimately Turkey failed to qualify from their group. After a qualifier in September 2008 between Armenia and Turkey – the two sides having historical
political problems —
both teams received a FIFA Fair Play Award for 2008.[15] He
scored the Turkish national team's 600th international goal in a 2010
World Cup qualification game against Estonia on 5 September 2009.[16] Arda
scored four goals for Turkey during the qualification rounds of the UEFA Euro 2012 — two against Kazakhstan, one against Belgium,
and one against Austria.
Turkey, however, could not qualify for the final stages of Euro 2012 after
being eliminated by Croatia in the play-offs.
