Lunin Achieves a Record That Puts Kepa in Check: The Basque Must Counterattack or Lose His Spot

The significant issue with the Real Madrid goal continues with uncertainty about who will be the starting goalkeeper, despite Carlo Ancelotti’s decision to rotate these two players throughout the season.

The Madridista fans continue to have doubts about whether this is a good option because, although it worked at some point, they don’t want this kind of distrust for two goalkeepers who are not showing good form.

But it seems that a record by Ukrainian goalkeeper Andriy Lunin could tilt the balance in his favor and thus secure the position of the absolute starter over his Spanish teammate.

A stat that supports him It seems that the Ukrainian goalkeeper has the best save percentage in LaLiga, coupled with one of the most important aspects regarding this player—the significant number of saves he makes for the Madrid team, a prominent characteristic of Courtois, and one that this goalkeeper has undoubtedly demonstrated as well.

These points leave the Spanish goalkeeper on loan from Chelsea, Kepa Arrizabalaga, far behind, as he has many fewer resources in this regard. This is why it seems that the balance is more in favor of the Ukrainian.

Now the final decision seems to be in the hands of Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti, who has not yet decided between these two players but, considering the circumstances, might lean towards the Ukrainian goalkeeper.

Time to decide Ancelotti will have to soon choose one of these goalkeepers if he does not want confidence to disappear during the season. There are only a few months left to finish, and he must already have a clear idea of who will be the starting goalkeeper for important matches.
