Well-known journalist Serhiy Tyshchenko commented on the performance of Real Madrid goalkeeper Andriy Lunin in the Spanish league match against Atletico Madrid (1:1).
Андрій Лунін (ліворуч; фото: gettyimages.com)"Yesterday's match against Atletico showed all the shortcomings of Andriy Lunin. At the end of the first half, there was a corner kick from Atletico. Even through the entire goalkeeper's area. Only by a miracle did no one put their head up. Lunin was standing on the goal line.
At the beginning of the second half, Atletico scored in a similar situation, but the goal was cancelled due to Saul's passive offside. The Matras players saw that Lunin was standing on the line and started to send shots straight into the goalkeeper's box (there was no Rüdiger or Militao, only Dani Cavahal).
Before these two corners, Lunin went to intercept the cross. He took a few steps in front and stopped. It was clear that he would be the first to get to the ball. Axel Witzel was very close to scoring. But Andrii's reaction or instincts saved the day.
In the case of the conceded goal, two Real Madrid defenders did not understand which of them should play the ball. Nacho and Carvajal relied on each other. But defenders should be guided and prompted by the goalkeeper," Serhii wrote on Telegram.
