The Ukrainian goalkeeper stopped many dangerous shots in the Champions League match between RB Leipzig and Real Madrid.
Andrey Lunin achieved a significant victory in the Champions League match. We remind you that the previous day, the Ukrainian goalkeeper of Real Madrid played a great match against Leipzig and helped his team beat the German club 1:0.
Andrey made 9 saves in this game, which is a personal record for the Ukrainian. In addition, this is a repeat of Real’s club record in the Champions League since such statistics have been maintained. Before this, only one person made 9 saves in a match in the Champions League for the “royal club” – Thibaut Courtois. It happened in the 2021/22 Champions League final against Liverpool.
