Real Madrid and Ancelotti are being criticized for this reason.

Real Madrid is going through a spectacular moment of form, not for nothing did they win all six of their UEFA Champions League group stage matches and, furthermore, they are in second place in La Liga, 4 points above FC Barcelona. Now, they will have a difficult duel against Villarreal, but they are favorites at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Hours before the match, Carlo Ancelotti is receiving harsh criticism from fans on social media, as his official lineup for the match has included an unexpected change that many consider unfair. This is Lunin, the goalkeeper.

Lunin was underestimated when Courtois was injured, because instead of giving him a chance, they signed Kepa. Now that Kepa was injured, Lunin came in and shut quite a few mouths, well, he played wonderfully and saved Real Madrid in several games, even stopping a penalty in the League. Now, Ancelotti benches Lunin and Kepa plays again.

Lunin is currently for 5 million euros at Real Madrid. The goalkeeper will have to earn his starting place again in Carlo Ancelotti's scheme, now that Arrizabalaga is in optimal condition and fully recovered.
