Lunin enamoró al Madrid en Bilbao

En el primer encuentro clave del mes de febrero, Carlo Ancelotti cuenta con varios frentes abiertos que dependen de su evaluación. Uno de ellos es la presencia de Andriy Lunin (22 años) o Thibaut Courtois (29) defendiendo la portería blanca. El segundo ha jugado todos los encuentros de Liga, Champions y Supercopa, en total 30, y todos ellos como titular. Ha encajado 25 goles (una media de 0,83 goles por encuentro) y suma 12 porterías a cero: curiosamente, la última vez que no ha recibido ningún gol fue en la final de la Supercopa en Riad del pasado 16 de enero precisamente ante el Athletic (2-0)
