Courtois has been injured for a long time. The Belgian goalkeeper will play against Barcelona after missing more than two games in the last month. A back problem was what kept him away from the courts. His absence made Real Madrid's substitute goalkeeper play at least while he recovered.

Andriy Lunin was finally able to play as a starter for Real Madrid. However, that was not on its merit. The injury of the starting goalkeeper, Courtois, was what forced the Real Madrid coach, Carlo Ancelotti, to put him in the starting lineup. It must be remembered that the passing of the Ukrainian goalkeeper has just returned to Real Madrid.

Last season was his return to the Santiago Bernabeú. Since 2019 he has been on loan with three different teams. Valladolid, Oviedo, and even Leganés, and only with Oviedo in the second division of Spain did he allow him to be the team's starting goalkeeper. But playing in the Spanish second division is not the same as playing in the UEFA Champions League.

Shakhtar's goal says it all

Shakhtar's goal against Real Madrid had two people responsible. Beyond the good work that the Ukrainian team did in Poland (because it is not possible to play in Ukrainian territory due to the war), both Ferland Mendy and Lunin defended poorly against Zubkov's header for the first goal of the match. Those occasions are where players who don't have many opportunities should shine but Lunin didn't.
