The portal Managingmadrid.com analyzed the performance of Ukrainian goalkeeper Andriy Lunin for Real Madrid in the second semi-final match of the Copa del Rey against Real Sociedad (4:4).
Andriy Lunin“The Ukrainian knows what it is to be disappointed when you help the team reach the final, only to lose your place in the squad for the final, as happened last season in the Champions League. Lunin started every Champions League game this season, while Courtois was not included in the starting lineup for any of the five games this season.
Lunin returned to the starting lineup in the Copa del Rey as Courtois was absent due to injury, and he could easily have been frustrated by the conceded goal, as Barrenetxea’s shot was not the best in the world, but defense left Lunin vulnerable. There was little he could do about both of Alaba’s own goals. Perhaps this evening will not be remembered by Lunin, but he is also not to blame for everything going wrong,” the article says.
