Former Real Madrid star, Iker Casillas, believes that Andriy Lunin should get the nod ahead of Thibaut Courtois for the crucial Champions League final clash against Borussia Dortmund under Carlo Ancelotti’s management.
Casillas, a seasoned campaigner who has safeguarded Los Blancos’ goal in numerous European encounters, shares his insights amidst the ongoing debate over the optimal goalkeeper selection for the Wembley finale on June 1.
Citing Lunin’s dependability, Casillas advocates for maintaining the Ukrainian shot-stopper in a key role while expressing faith in Courtois’ potential resurgence post his recent setback.
Expressing his opinion, Casillas remarked, “I believe Lunin should retain his place in the final.”
He added, “Courtois, although needing no validation of his abilities, is poised to regain his status as the world’s top goalkeeper. Yet, considering his recent comeback, Lunin’s track record establishes him as a safe bet.”
