Ukraine's first loss, goalkeeper Lunin became a target. The first goal is lost, Lunin mentality is not stable, inexperience is exposed. The second goal has a key error, but the mentality adjustment lag. The third goal is more the responsibility of the back line.
Lunin conceded three goals this campaign, two directly related to its performance can be described as dismal. Since joining Real Madrid in the summer of 2019, he was first rented to the West B for training, and then rarely appeared due to the presence of Courtois.
Courtois was seriously injured at the beginning of the season, Real Madrid loaned Kepa in time, but Kepa was also injured in the middle of the season, and Lu Ning became the main force. His performance is not bad, help Real Madrid to win the title, the number of goals conceded is the lowest in La Liga, the top five leagues also ranked.
In the Champions League, Lu Ning repeatedly showed courage, excellent saving skills, to help the team win over strong opponents. However, when Courtois came back in the final, Lu Ning was absent due to flu and fever, which triggered a controversy.
Looking back at the Champions League final, Courtois certainly made a wise choice. Unlike the knockout stages, the tension and pressure of the final was immense. Luening's mentality problem in top level tournaments may be the root cause of his mistakes. Had Luening been chosen for the final, Dortmund's offense could have repeated the Karius tragedy.
