Andrey, in brilliant style, prevented Canadian David from scoring from the field, but then missed from the penalty spot
Goalkeeper save Real Andrey Lunin included in the selection of the best saves of the game day (October 2) in Champions League.
In the 35th minute of the away match against Lille (0:1), the Ukrainian parried Jonathan David’s header from the goal line, after which he prevented the Canadian from finishing the ball into the goal. This rescue, however, did not help Real get points in France – at the end of the half, Eduardo Camavinga was awarded a penalty for handball, and the same David beat Lunin from the spot. This goal remained the only one in the match, bringing the Dogs an unexpected victory.
Let us remind you that Andrei played for the Blancos for the first time this season due to an injury to the main goalkeeper, the Belgian Thibaut Courtois.
The top 5 best saves on Wednesday, in addition to the above-mentioned action by Lunin, included two saves by Emiliano Martinez from Aston Villa in the match with Bayern (1:0), as well as penalties taken by Timon Wellenreuther and Paolo Gassaniga in the match Girona – Feyenoord (2:3) .
Real Madrid have three points left after two rounds of the Champions League. On October 22, Carlo Ancelotti’s team will play at home against Borussia Dortmund, which leads the overall standings with six points and a goal difference of 10:1.
What a performance we witnessed from Dibu Martínez 👏
