In Spain, the story that Real Madrid goalkeeper Andrey Lunin fell ill before the Champions League final, where the cream of the crop will play Borussia Dortmund is not very credible.
Andrey LuninThe Spanish newspaper Vozpopuli called Lunin's absence a "very strange loss". The journalists noted that many fans of the Royal Club were sceptical about the information that the Ukrainian goalkeeper had contracted type B flu.
"A viral infection at a crucial moment does not convince many people, and for some it sounds like a Chinese letter. As if it were not true. It's as if Ancelotti told him that Thibaut Courtois would play, and Lunin is not happy with that at all. There are many dark spots around this notable absence. A very strange loss that leaves many Madrid fans dissatisfied," the newspaper said.
