Courtois’ Response to Lunin’s First Goal Against City: “It’s More Complex…”

In the Real Madrid camp, there are many questions and clear answers when it comes to discussing a crucial moment against Guardiola’s men. This is Courtois’ reaction to Lunin’s first goal conceded against City: “It’s more complex.”

It was a night filled with goals at the Santiago Bernabéu, where Real Madrid left with positive offensive sensations, but with doubts lingering over the defensive line. Thibaut Courtois reacted to Andriy Lunin’s performance against a Manchester City side that only managed to score from afar. There are deeper looks beyond the criticisms received.

The Ukrainian is the first to understand the level of responsibility he holds for each goal conceded against Guardiola’s team. Courtois watched from a distance, always analyzing different shots, which undoubtedly places the obligation on them to win in Manchester. It’s not the first time, and there are reasons to dream.

Some believe Lunin could have done more, especially in that moment when Bernardo Silva surprised everyone at the white coliseum with a powerful shot early in the match. Today, amidst the post-match analysis in Valdebebas, Thibaut was unequivocal when asked for his opinion. A comprehensive assessment is required when examining such a play.

Another Perspective “It’s more challenging than it seems. As soon as the ball touches the ground, it becomes unstoppable because it’s already upon you…” Courtois commented this morning in Valdebebas, alongside Lunin, Llopis, and the Madrid coaches. The barrier for the Belgian is the key factor in why we saw the 0-1 so early.

In addition to this, there’s Vinicius’ movement and, of course, the merit Silva deserves for the action. There’s complete confidence in Lunin for the future, and above all, the feeling that they managed to contain a City side that could only score through spectacular goals. Andriy has everyone’s trust for the battle at the Etihad.
