As expected, due to the injury of Real Madrid's main goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, Ukrainian goalkeeper Andriy Lunin took the place in the goal of the "creamy" in yesterday's match of the 2nd round of the Champions League against French "Lille" (0:1). After the end of this meeting, he gave his comment to journalists.
"My contract extension with Real Madrid is a gesture of trust from the club towards me. From the first day here I said that this is the club of my dreams. But, of course, no one will give you anything for nothing. On the other hand, I think everyone has seen what I can do. I can be number one here and I will continue to fight for my place in the squad with the greatest respect for Courtois.
As for our defeat to Lille, we shouldn't draw too many conclusions from it. We have a great streak of matches without defeat under our belt. But in soccer not only victories happen. So now we just have to prepare for the next game.
The match schedule? Playing in such a mode is so hard both physically and mentally. Let the people in charge think about it better. Just two days ago we had a very hard match physically and emotionally (last Sunday, against Atletico, 1-1, in the Spanish championship - ed.), and today we had to play again, " - Marca quotes Lunin's words.
