Iker Casillas believes the Ukrainian goalkeeper has earned his place in goal with his performances this season.
Iker Casillas has called on Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti to stop choosing who will be entrusted with a place in goal in the Champions League finals.
The former goalkeeper of the Madrid club and the Spanish national team considers the choice between Thibaut Courtois and Andrei Lunin to be obvious.
According to Casillas, he will choose the Ukrainian goalkeeper, because he deserves his performances in the 2023/24 season.
“Andrei Lunin has proven to everyone that he is a good goalkeeper who can help at any moment, it’s not up to me, but Andrei should play in the Champions League finals.
Courtoi has just returned from injury and it is true that he played very well the other day, but he has not yet settled into a competitive rhythm. Thibault has shown everyone his level, and I’m sure that once he’s in shape, he’ll play like he used to,” AVC Digital Paraguay quotes Casillas as saying.
We remind you that Lunin previously set a record among Ukrainian athletes on Instagram.
