If there is something that explains the success of the Real Madrid, in addition to the tarpaulin of Carlo Ancelotti and the presence of players like Jude Bellingham or Vinicius Jr, is the presence of Andriy Lunin, the one who started the season being the third goalkeeper and is finishing it like one of the silent heroes of the group madridistas and one of the 'culprits' that they can opt to the fifteenth Champions League of his history.

Courtois, invited 'unexpected' to the conversation

The true is that it has installed the debate on if it will be Lunin, finally, the one who was under the three sticks. The return of Thibaut Courtois, that was to title in the victory 3-0 against the Cádiz in Santiago Bernabéu, leaves everything in "will see" because it exists the possibility that sea he the one who lead the goal merengue against the Borussia Dortmund the next 1 June, in Wembley (21:00 hours, 9:00 PM CEST).

The alignment will not change, but the possibility that Lunin remain in the bench and was headline Courtois is hanando weight. Still it is an incógnita, but if it played the four parties that remain of the domestic championship (against Granada, Alavés, Villarreal and Betis) will be because it will play against the 'borussers'.
