Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has spoken highly of his teammate Andriy Lunin, crediting the Ukrainian shot-stopper for "winning us El Clásico." The match in question took place last weekend when Lunin made his debut for Real Madrid, stepping in for an ailing Courtois in a crucial encounter against arch-rivals Barcelona at the Camp Nou.
Despite falling ill shortly before the game, Lunin delivered a commendable performance, sealing his place in the starting lineup with a crucial save in a 1-1 draw. However, his day was not without a setback, as he was relegated to the bench for Real Madrid's subsequent match against Racing Santander. During the post-match press conference, Courtois seized the moment to sing the praises of his fellow goalkeeper, declaring, "Andriy Lunin won us El Clásico!"
