On October 2, the match of the 2nd round of the main stage of the Champions League between Lille and Real Madrid took place. The game ended with a score of 1-0 in favor of the French club.
Ukrainian goalkeeper Andriy Lunin played the entire match and made 2 saves. After the game, the Spanish edition of Marca praised the 25-year-old's performance:
"The Ukrainian returned to the Real Madrid goal due to Courtois' injury, and Madrid played calmly with him. The Champions League is Lunin's tournament, and although the team lost, he was one of the best in the match. His double save deserves to be included in the best moments of the season. "Barcelona had to go to the market after Ter Stegen's injury, but Madrid can rest easy knowing that they have a keeper without whom winning the Champions League last season would have been impossible," the article says.
