Ukrainian goalkeeper of Madrid’s «Real» Andriy Lunin received a commendable review from the leading Spanish newspaper Marca for his performance in the main round of the Champions League match against «Olympiacos».
«Lunin is not Courtois because there’s no one better than the Belgian. But Lunin’s play deserves praise. He had a great season when Thibaut injured his knee and was a key player in winning the championship and Champions League titles for Madrid’s „Real“.
In Athens, he debuted under the guidance of Xabi Alonso and returned to the starting lineup, something he hadn’t done since May. He conceded after a brilliant shot by Chiquinho but then made three decisive saves. Truly an impressive feat. The calm of the Ukrainian is sometimes striking; it’s his virtue. Because another goalkeeper in the game, which led to a scoreline of 2−3, would seriously chastise his defenders. But everyone has their limits, and with the score at 3−4, he did not lose his composure,» says the publication’s material.
