The Real Madrid president didn’t hesitate to express his thoughts on this matter.
Real Madrid secured another victory in the league, displaying a commendable performance against a challenging opponent.
Despite numerous injuries and adversities, the Italian coach’s team is having a remarkable season, sitting at the top of both the league and Champions League standings.
Carlo Ancelotti fielded a highly offensive team, clearly signaling the club’s intent to go for three points from the first minute.
However, all eyes were on the goalkeeping position, as the initial uncertainty for this match was about who would be the starting goalkeeper for Real Madrid.
The coaching staff decided to go with Andriy Lunin, showcasing their confidence in the Ukrainian goalkeeper, who delivered impressive performances during Kepa Arrizabalaga’s absence.
Upon learning about Lunin’s starting position, Florentino Pérez didn’t hesitate to share his thoughts on this goalkeeper debate with his immediate collaborators at Real Madrid.
“It’s a very deep squad, and both of them are very good; we are very secure with both,” commented the Real Madrid president in the VIP box upon learning about the starting lineup.
Florentino Pérez’s words highlight the great confidence the club has in both goalkeepers, who are having an excellent start to the season despite the challenging task of replacing Thibaut Courtois.
Now, the focus shifts to seeing what Carlo Ancelotti will decide in the last match of the year, scheduled for next Thursday at Mendizorroza against Deportivo Alavés.
