Given the significance of Thibuat Courtois’ heroics to Real Madrid’s success throughout the course of the previous seasons, the fact that he suffered an injury at the beginning of the season came as a big setback for the club.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, are on course to achieve the same level of success as they have in the past, as the season’s conclusion is fast approaching.
And a significant portion of the credit for their success goes to Andriy Lunin, who has done an outstanding job of taking Courtois’s place in the goalkeeper’s position.
The Real Madrid club is thankful to Lunin.
Lunin’s consistency since gaining a berth in the first team has persuaded Real Madrid that he is worth investing on for the long term, despite the fact that his future was called into question a great lot over the previous year.
In addition, Jorge C. Picon, who was cited by Madrid Zone, asserts that Real Madrid will continue to be forever thankful to Lunin, which is the reason why they are planning to extend his contract until the “end of the decade.”
The Ukrainian goalkeeper has shown that he is a formidable opponent, particularly in the Champions League, where he has displayed his greatest performances. His performances against RB Leipzig and Manchester City stand out as particularly impressive efforts.

There is little doubt that Lunin is aware of Courtois’ great abilities, despite the fact that it could seem that a seat on the bench would not be appealing to him after such an outstanding performance.
According to the article, everyone both within and outside of the club is aware that Courtois is the greatest goalkeeper in the world, and that the best cannot sit on the bench. Lunin is also aware of this fact.
A spot in the starting eleven for the Champions League final is not out of the question now that the Belgian is back in action and has completely healed from his injury.
