Ukrainian goalkeeper of Real Madrid Andriy Lunin summarised the results of yesterday's match of his team with Portuguese Braga (3:0), in which he reflected a penalty at the very beginning of the game.
Andrei Lunin"The most important thing today was to take three points. We managed it, we reached the 1/8 finals of the Champions League, but we still have two more matches to take the first place in the group. In addition, today's victory will allow us to prepare for the next matches of the Spanish championship with a good mood.
It is always important for the team not only to win, but also to keep their goal intact. Therefore, the final score of the match is always important to me. I am glad that I played well and did not concede. It is good for my confidence, my experience.
Of course, I am glad that I got some game practice. But even without that I was fine, because I play in the best club in the world. The whole team helps me every day and I work together with the best. It wasn't easy to go into the match at the last minute (Real Madrid's main goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga was injured in the pre-match warm-up - ed.), but I must always be ready. When you get the opportunity, you have to do what you do best. Fortunately, everything worked out the way I wanted it to.
The penalty I took? There's nothing to talk about. But I want to thank the goalkeepers' coach for his help. It was a two-man save. We work on penalties in training, it's part of the effort we put in every day," Lunin was quoted as saying by Real Madrid's official website.
