The Ukrainian in the match with Mallorca replaced Thibault Courtois, who was injured 30 minutes before the start of the match
Ukrainian goalkeeper of Real Madrid Andrey Lunin said that the appearance in the starting lineup of the match with Mallorca did not take him by surprise.
“This is not my first time. I must always be ready. I had time to warm up well, that’s no problem.”
“The match was difficult for us. The opponents played with five defenders in a line and we shouldn’t have lost this game. It’s a shame to miss that goal.”
“But this is Madrid. We come back and always fight to the end. It’s time to recover and prepare well. We will analyze and correct mistakes in order to move forward.”
Lunin came out in the starting lineup of Blancos in a duel with Mallorca (0:1). The main goalkeeper of Madrid Thibault Courtois was injured during the warm-up 30 minutes before the start of the match.
Lunin’s team is 5 points behind Barcelona, having played a match more. Real Madrid will play their next match in the Club World Cup. The Blancos will face Al-Ahly in the semi-final on February 8.
