Real Madrid: Andriy Lunin preferred to Kepa

The goalkeeper war continues at Real Madrid. Thibaut Courtois is out this season, the battle for the number one place is between Andriy Lunin and Kepa Arrizabalaga. The latter, who played 15 matches for 12 goals conceded and 7 clean sheets, was quickly essential until an adductor injury last November which relaunched the debate for the number one position.

Brilliant over this period, Andriy Lunin played 9 matches for 6 goals conceded and 4 clean sheets and is also showing some verve. A competition which sees Carlo Ancelotti rack his brains to define who will be number one for the rest of the season. To start 2024, it should be Andriy Lunin against Mallorca this Wednesday according to Marca. A physical problem for Kepa Arrizabalaga allows Carlo Ancelotti to have an easier time making this decision… For now.
