In the Real Madrid there was a big debate on who would have to be the guardameta title in the final of Wembley of 1 June against the Borussia Dortmund. The discussion turned around if Carlo Ancelotti would have to bet by the meritocracia when ranging to Andriy Lunin, the one who was key for the picture merengue during big part of the season 2023/24, or give him an opportunity to Thibaut Courtois, the one who was lesionado the greater part of the campaign and has had few commitments of shooting after his turn, but is clearly a cancerbero of first level and has showed a stellar performance from his return of the injury.

"It is a very difficult decision because both deserve to play the final. Lunin Because it has done a fantastic season, today has fever, but goes to recover for the Saturday, and Courtois because it has gone back of his injury and is the best goalkeeper of the world. The debate likes me a lot, so in this week that do not have at all that do likes me listen it", went the words of 'Carletto' around this complex subject.

Now, in accordance with information of the 'Chain COPE', although the native of Krasnograd is improving gradually, the Real Madrid is considering seriously not to carry it in the trip to London the Thursday, to avoid any possibility of contagion. According to the source mentioned, the white cast has planned that Lunin trip to England the Friday or even the same Saturday, day of the party, to join to the team.

Taking into account this and considering that it does not know with certainty how will return the Ukrainian of his condition of health for the commitment against the Borussia Dortmund, if it will be to 100% to confront a meeting of this magnitude, everything indicates that the titularity recaerá in Thibaut Courtois. The Belgian has been training regularly in the last days and already seemed to have some favouritism even before knowing the reason of the absence of Andriy Lunin. Likewise, 'Giraffe' is one of the best goalkeepers of the world and already has been key for the Real Madrid in an instance finalist, as it saw in the show that starred in the final of Paris 2022 against the Liverpool, that resulted in the obtaining of the fourteenth 'Orejona' for the white club and that had him to him doing some cut across truly memorables.
