Igor Shukhovtsev: "Lunin is at Real Madrid, where else can you strive for?"

Famous Ukrainian goalkeeper Ihor Shukhovtsev shared his thoughts on the fact that goalkeeper Andriy Lunin has extended his contract with Real Madrid.

"It is not for us to judge, because it is Andriy's decision. A man who at this age has achieved what very few players in our country ever achieve... We cannot judge whether he did the right thing or not. If he made the decision to fight for a place in the first team at the best club in the world, then it's his decision, so it's the right one. This is my personal point of view.

If he had moved, for example, to Chelsea, Man City, Milan, it doesn't matter where, it is not known how the team, fans, etc. would have received him. Because what happens at this level is very difficult psychologically.

It's very difficult for our guys in this aspect. Just look at how many Ukrainian legionnaires play in top clubs and how difficult it is. Perhaps he would get a push and improve his goalkeeping level? But he is at Real Madrid, where else can he strive? The question is that he is already on top of the world. Where to go next? This is a difficult question for me," Shukhovtsev said.
