"He's brilliant". Courtois spoke about his competition with Lunin
Ahead of Real Madrid's UEFA Champions League match against Borussia Dortmund, starting goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois attended the pre-match press conference alongside head coach Carlo Ancelotti. Journalists asked the Belgian about his competition with Andriy Lunin, who performed excellently last season.
Details: Courtois stated that there are no issues between him and Lunin, emphasizing that the competition strengthens both of them.
Quote:
“Real Madrid have a wonderful goalkeeper in Lunin/ I try to help him, to make him better”.
This competition is good for both of us. I know it's not easy after playing a lot last season but he’s great, he will help us”.
Reminder: Courtois missed almost the entire last season due to a cruciate ligament injury, and Lunin won the competition with Kepa Arrizabalaga, becoming the first-choice goalkeeper in the Champions League knockout stages. However, Courtois returned to play in the final against Borussia Dortmund, where Real Madrid won 2-0.
This season, Lunin has made two appearances, while Courtois has played in the other 11 matches.
