Ukrainian goalkeeper for Real Madrid, Andriy Lunin, will finally get his chance to play in the starting lineup of the team. Tomorrow, during the match against the Greek club Olympiacos, he will debut this season. This will happen because the main goalkeeper, Belgian Thibaut Courtois, will be unable to participate in the game due to gastroenteritis.
Before flying to Athens, Lunin visited Real's coach, Xabi Alonso, assuring him that he is 100% ready for the match: "Coach, I am ready for all challenges," the local publication quotes him.
It is worth noting that Ukrainian forward Roman Yaremchuk also plays for Olympiacos. Both players represent a new generation of Ukrainian footballers who are starting to make a name for themselves on the international stage.
Lunin, who has spent a significant part of the season on the bench, hopes to prove that he can be more than just a backup goalkeeper for Real. According to reports, his potential transfer is being considered by Bayern Munich, but now he has the chance to showcase his skills on the field.
The match against Olympiacos generates great interest, as it is not only Lunins debut, but also an opportunity for the Ukrainian player to once again demonstrate his abilities on the big stage.
