Jude Bellingham's injury is not the only thing Real Madrid will have to worry about.

Real Madrid is already facing Braga in the UEFA Champions League, in a more crucial match than it seems, because, if Real Madrid wins today, they would mathematically qualify for the round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League. Furthermore, the Spanish team has never lost a match at the Santiago Bernabeu against a Portuguese team, at least not in this competition.

Real Madrid suffered a serious injury 4 days ago, when Jude Bellingham dislocated his right shoulder against Rayo Vallecano. Today, the English midfielder started the game on the bench, as he was not yet ready to play. Now, a last-minute injury was confirmed for the merengue team.

This is Kepa Arrizabalaga, who was the last-minute signing due to Thibaut Courtois' serious injury. Now, the Spaniard had already been chosen to play today, but the goalkeeper felt some discomfort just a few minutes before the match, so Real Madrid made it official that Lunin, the Ukrainian goalkeeper, will play in his place.

Lunin saved a penalty!

Real Madrid started the game in the worst way, as a penalty from Lucas Vazquez gave hope to the visiting team, however, Lunin saved the penalty after 5 minutes and established himself as a great goalkeeper at the Santiago Bernabeu.
