Real Madrid’s goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has expressed his admiration for fellow shot-stopper Andriy Lunin, highlighting the Ukrainian’s potential and contribution to the team. Courtois, who has been a key figure for the Spanish giants, emphasised the importance of healthy competition between the two goalkeepers.
Courtois on Lunin’s Development
Courtois remarked on Lunin’s capabilities, stating that Real Madrid possesses a “wonderful goalkeeper” in the 24-year-old. He mentioned his efforts to assist Lunin in improving his skills, acknowledging the challenges Lunin faces after a season of limited playtime. Courtois believes that this internal competition benefits both players and ultimately strengthens the team.
Lunin’s Role at Real Madrid
Lunin, who joined Real Madrid from Zorya Luhansk in 2018, has had limited opportunities to showcase his talent due to Courtois’ dominance in the starting position. Despite this, Courtois is confident in Lunin’s ability to contribute positively to the squad, suggesting that Lunin’s presence will be advantageous for the club’s success.
