In the new season, Thibault Courtois will change the 13th number to the first, and the Ukrainian Andrey Lunin will take possession of his numbers. Reported by Marca.

For two years Thibault Courtois was forced to play under the 13th number, but now he will finally take the first number.

After the appearance of the Belgian in Real, this number belonged to Keylor Navas, and after the Costa Rican left, the rules prevented him from taking the first number of Courtois - at the time of Navas' transition to PSG, Thibault was already declared under the 13th number.

In the new season, he will be announced already under the first number. In turn, the second goalkeeper of Real Madrid Andrey Lunin will take Courtois's number - 13th.

Earlier, Real announced the departure of Alfonso Areola, which made room for Andrei Lunin.
