Spanish journalist Julio Maldonado shared his expectations of the first Champions League semi-final match between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, criticising the Ukrainian goalkeeper Andriy Lunin, who is having a great season.

But the main issue is the goalkeeper. Lunin had a great match against Manchester City, but then he didn't have a very good match against Barcelona. He has a lot of ups and downs. Lunin concedes much more than an elite goalkeeper should," Maldonado was quoted as saying by Realmadridconfidencial.com.
Surprisingly, for some reason, the Spanish analyst did not mention how many dangerous chances Real Madrid's opponents created at the Madrid goal in previous matches, how the Galaxy's defence failed, and how many times Lunin saved the team. It is worth mentioning not only the recent meeting with City (34 shots, 11 on target), but also, for example, the match against Leipzig (15 shots, 9 on target).
It will be recalled that the first semi-final match of the Champions League between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid will take place on Tuesday, 30 April. The match starts at 22:00 Kyiv time.
