The Ukrainian goalkeeper will have a chance to prove himself due to the injury of Thibaut Courtois
Head coach Real Madrid Carlo Ancelotti After training I had a conversation with the Ukrainian goalkeeper of Blancos Andrey Luninassuring him of the club’s absolute trust.
“You should know that we trust you completely now.”
Let us remind you that Real Madrid’s main goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois is experiencing muscle problems after the match with Atletico Madrid. The Belgian will soon undergo an MRI – there is a possibility that Courtois will remain in the hospital until the end of the international break.
Courtois was left out of Real Madrid’s squad for the upcoming Champions League match against Lille. The Blancos’ squad for the game includes three goalkeepers – in addition to Lunin, these are 19-year-olds Fran Gonzalez and Sergio Mestre.
Lunin has never appeared in an official game for Real Madrid this season. Last season, due to an injury to Courtois, Andrei was a player in the main squad: 31 matches in all tournaments, 32 goals conceded, 12 clean sheets. The Ukrainian was also nominated for the Best Goalkeeper of the Year award at the 2024 Ballon d’Or.
In September, Lunin extended his contract with Real Madrid, signing a new agreement until 2030.
The second round match of the Champions League between Lille and Real Madrid will take place on Wednesday, October 2. Start – 22:00 Kyiv time.
