Goalkeeper Rotation Continues: Kepa Arrizabalaga to Start for Real Madrid Against Union Berlin

Real Madrid’s goalkeeping situation continues to raise eyebrows as manager Carlo Ancelotti is set to rotate his shot-stoppers once again. Despite Andriy Lunin’s recent strong performances, Ancelotti has reportedly decided to give Kepa Arrizabalaga the starting role in the upcoming Champions League clash against Union Berlin on Tuesday.

Lunin, who has impressed in recent outings, will sit out the midweek fixture, with Kepa getting an opportunity to showcase his abilities. This decision comes after Ancelotti initially suggested that Kepa would return to the starting lineup following his recovery from injury. Kepa’s last appearance for Real Madrid was in the goalless draw against Rayo Vallecano in early November.

The goalkeeper rotation adds an element of uncertainty to Real Madrid’s lineup, leaving fans and pundits curious about Ancelotti’s decision-making regarding the team’s goalkeeping hierarchy. Whether this is a temporary change or a chance for Kepa to stake his claim for the number one spot remains to be seen. The evolving goalkeeping dynamics at Real Madrid will undoubtedly be closely monitored in the coming weeks.
