In Madrid's „Real“ team, Ukrainian goalkeeper Andriy Lunin stands out with the most vibrant colors.

The 25-year-old goalkeeper surpassed Kepa, who arrived from „Chelsea“ to become the first choice for „Real“ after Thibaut Courtois suffered a road injury. The Spaniard lost to the Ukrainian in the competitive battle.

In the first quarterfinal match against „Leipzig“, A. Lunin repelled 9 shots and received praises from Carlo Ancelotti.

Lunin was superb, amazing. It was certainly Lunin's best game since I got to know him,“ said the „Real“ strategist. 

The Italian coach who praised the Ukrainian goalkeeper also spoke about the match: „We are enduring even with all the injuries in defense, because we receive help from all the players. Defenders, wings... everyone helps in defense.

We are happy, but we could have scored more. We could have also conceded goals, so we are satisfied. It's just a small advantage.“

„Real“ won the first match against Leipzig 1:0.
